What is the difference between a strong muscle contraction and a weak muscle contraction?
one would be the amount of contractile strength that results from a muscle contraction.
What is the difference between a contracted muscle and a relax muscle?
i don't no what is the answer?
Which would you see only in the relaxed electron micrographs of a relaxed skeletal and muscle fiber and a fully contracted muscle fiber?
This question is confusing. Are you asking if you see only a relaxed muscle fiber in EMs? Yes, you would only see that, not a contracted muscle fiber. The preparation could only be of a relaxed fiber.
Is the ciliary muscle relaxed during distance vision?
Yes, during distance vision the ciliary muscle is relaxed. This allows the lens to flatten, which helps focus incoming light from distant objects onto the retina.
When the eye is looking at objects far in distance the lens is rounded and the ciliary muscle is contracted?
The ciliary muscle is relaxed when you look at something that is far away.
What is the opposite of the word extended?
The opposite of extended (moved out) could be retracted (moved in). The opposite of extended (relaxed, as with a muscle) is contracted.
As one muscle contracts the must relax.?
Yes. If not, the action at the joint will be incomplete and dysfunctional. As a whole, a muscle fiber is either contracted or relaxed (the all-or-none principal).
Why do muscles have to be partially contracted at all times?
The state when even relaxed muscles are almost always in a slightly contracted state is called muscle tone. It does not produce active movement, but it keeps the muscles firm and healthy and ensures that they are ready to respond to a sudden stimulus. Muscle tone also helps to stabilize joints and to maintain posture.
Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
Are there such things as partially contracted muscle fibers?
That is very good question! You do not have any thing like partially contracted muscle fibres, most probably. What you have got is partially contracted muscles. The muscle is more or less contracted as per the number of muscle fibres that are contracted at any given time.
What is the difference between muscle fibers of men and women?
no difference
What are the events that influence the width of each sarcomere when a muscle being contracted and relaxed?
During muscle contraction, the sarcomere width decreases due to the overlapping of actin and myosin filaments. This is caused by the sliding of the filaments past each other. When the muscle relaxes, the sarcomere width increases as the filaments slide back to their original positions. The regulation of calcium ions and ATP availability also play a role in influencing the width of each sarcomere during muscle contraction and relaxation.
