Quiz 3? Flashcards
Is crimp flexible
Yes , allows tendons to stretch and recoil efficiently, contributing to the elasticity and resilience of the muscle-tendon unit during movement.
What does all or nothing rule say
Every fiber needs to be activated
What is force determined by
Muscle fibers
Mf seated on the chair at gym show
Passive insufficiency
What do parallel fibers do
Give u greater range of motion ex are sartorius biceps brachii , good control , more speed but low force
Pennate fibers
Larger number of muscle fibers , On an angle \/ like this but strong , compact provide bad rom /speed
Muscle temp
Warm muscle leads to elastic muscle
Warm muscle
Decreases friction due to sliding filament theory
Series elastic component
Stores energy but lets it go when force is released
Parallel elastic components
passive structures within muscles that run parallel to muscle fibers, contributes to the elasticity and stiffness of muscles, helping to maintain muscle integrity and shape during contraction and stretching.
Proportional length of muscle
Creates greater force when at resting length /isolated conditions
Active insufficiency and myosin
Myosin and actin can’t line up
What’s inertia
objects like to keep doing what they’re already doing – staying still or moving – unless something pushes or pulls them to change.
increase the surface area over which a force is applied, the pressure decreases. Conversely, when you decrease the surface area, the pressure increases, assuming the force remains constant.
Location difference between sec and pec
Series elastic is in tendon and parallel is in muscles
