Satellite cells
2 types of muscle contractions
Isometric
Isotonic
Increase the tension in the muscle w/o changing its length
Isometric contraction (equal distance)
Constant amount of tension while decreasing the length of the muscle
Isotonic contractions (equal tension)
2 types of isotonic contraction
Concentric
Eccentric
Are isotonic contractions in which muscle tension increases as the muscle shortens
Concentric contraction
Are isotonic contractions in which tension is maintained in the muscle, muscle lengthens
Eccentric contraction
Constant tension produced by body muscles over long periods of time
Muscle tone
