BME 235 Quiz 9.3 with 100%
correct answers 2025
intrinsic muscular factors
- muscle length
- contraction velocity
- muscle temperature
- elasticity
- angle of pull
neural factors
- firing frequency
- number of recruited motor units
hybrid factors
motor unit/fiber type
length-tension relationships (LTR)
the amount of tension generated by a muscle depends on its length
optimum resting length
- maximum force is developed
- most overlap between thick and thin filaments
overly shortened
- relatively low force is developed
- thick filaments butt against Z discs
overly stretched
- relatively low force is developed
- minimal overlap between thick and thin filaments; minimal cross-bridge
information
which of the following best explains why muscle force is greatest when its
at its resting length?
