MUSCULAR SYSTEM PART 2

defined as the muscles ability to contract and create force in response to resistance

increase the degree of muscle tone and do not shorten the muscle during contraction

responsible for the constant length of the postural muscles of the body

standing in position with books on top of head

muscle shortens, thereby producing movement and the amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during contraction, but the length of the muscle decreases

all movements are the result of

movements of the armms and fingers

produce muscle tone, do not shorten the muscle and only few fibers contract at one time

the prime mover, muscle that causes action and the first to contract

helper, muscle that act with an agonist, deltoid
