Q

What is a pennation angle?

A

Pennation angle is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the entire muscle and its fibers

17
Q

What is moment arms?

A

The moment is a force that produces a turning motion,increasing this creates larger movements

18
Q

Where do muscles usually act?

A

On hard tissues eg bones

19
Q

What is stress?

A

Force,normalised to the area it acts on

20
Q

What is strain?

A

Deformation,normalised

21
Q

What is compression?

A

Pressure from both ends

22
Q

What is tension?

A

Pulling

23
Q

What is torsion?

A

twisting

24
Q

What is bending?

A

pressure from the middle

25
Q

What are safety factors?

A

Ratio of the structures strength to maximum stress it is likely to encounter

26
Q

When does stress increase?

A

With size
