In a concentration contraction the muscles shorten to produce movement?
True.
What is a concentric contraction?
concentric contraction is atype of muscle contraction which the muscle shortens while genrating aforce The muscle shortens to produce movement. A muscle contraction in which shortening occurs.
What type of muscle contraction will shorten a muscle and decrease the angle between two bones?
Concentric muscle contraction will shorten a muscle and decrease the angle between two bones. This type of contraction involves the muscle generating force as it shortens to move a body part.
If enough muscle fibers contract to make the muscle as a whole shorten in length the muscle is said to exhibit contractions?
concentric
What is a contraction in which the muscle shorten and work is done?
A concentric contraction is when the muscle shortens as it exerts force. This type of contraction is commonly associated with lifting weights or performing a bicep curl, for example.
What tissue contracts or shorten allowing movement?
muscle tissue
What is the type of muscle contraction that produces movement in a joint and allows the muscle to shorten?
By tensing.
A sporting example of a concentric movement?
Performing a bicep curl, where the bicep muscle shortens as you lift the weight towards your shoulder, is a sporting example of a concentric movement.
What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
Is concentric isotonic contraction is defined as tension developing in the muscle as it shorten?
That is correct, the muscle shortens as it contracts. E.g. A bicep curl, the bicep muscle as you lift the wight up is Isotonic contraction. :)
What tissue has its cells shorten to exert force?
Muscle tissue has cells that shorten to exert force. This shortening of muscle cells is what allows for movement and physical activity.
Contraction of a muscle resulting in its shortening?
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten is called a concentric contraction. A concentric contraction is a type of isotonic contraction.
