Isotonic is the word you're looking for.

Isotonic means the tension remains the same, but the length can change.

Isometric means the length remains the same, but the tension can change.

What happens If a muscle is applied to a load that exceeds the muscle's maximum tension?

The muscle length will not change during a contraction.


The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?

A contraction in which a skeletal muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric?

Yes, that's correct. In an isometric contraction, the muscle does not change in length but generates tension. This type of contraction can be useful for maintaining posture and stability in the body.

What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?

Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.


Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?

proprioceptors


In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?

In an isotonic contraction, the muscle changes in length while maintaining a constant tension. This allows for movement to occur, such as bending the elbow or lifting a weight.


What aspects of muscle function are monitored by muscle spindles and tendon organs?

Muscle spindles primarily monitor muscle length and changes in muscle length, providing information about muscle stretch and contraction. Tendon organs, on the other hand, monitor muscle tension or the force of muscle contraction by detecting changes in tension within the tendons. Together, these sensory receptors help regulate muscle tone and protect muscles from injury.


What is static muscle contraction?

Contraction in which opposing muscles contract against each other and prevent movement. Fixation action of a muscle in a static contraction is termed isometric, because it develops tension without changing length.

An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
