What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
A thickening of existing muscle fibers is called?
Muscle hypertrophy
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called?
Motor unit = the single motor neuron and the multiple muscle fibers that it innervates.
What are muscles cells called?
Muscle fibres
What do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?
muscle tone
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What is muscle cell called?
fibers
What is a muscle cell called?
The scientific name for a muscle cell is a myocyte. Myocytes are also sometimes called muscle fibers. They are long, tube shaped, cells that develop from myoblasts.
A thickening of existing muscle fibers is called?
Muscle hypertrophy
What happen when muscles shorten?
What happens when a muscle shortens is that it is contracting. This is when the fibers of the muscles generate tension.
What are bundles of muscle fibers?
myofibril
An increase in muscle fibers is called?
smd
What four factors determine muscle tension?
Muscle contraction is affected by four factors:1. The number of muscle fibers stimulated 2. The relative size of the fibers 3. Frequency of stimulation 4. The degree of muscle strength
What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
What is the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers?
Fast twitch muscle fibers are Type II muscle fibers. These muscle fibers have high explosive power and are anaerobic. They have a fast contractile speed and can reach peak tension in 50ms. They have a high glycolytic capacity and have low to moderate resistance to fatigue. Their motor unit strength is high.Slow twitch muscle fibers are Type I muscle fibers. These muscle fibers have steady power and are aerobic. The have a slow contractile speed and needs 110ms to reach peak tension. They have a low glycolytic capacity and a high resistance to fatigue. Their motor unit strength is low.
