Isotonic contraction and isometric contraction

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Text Solution **1. Definition of Isometric Contraction:** - Isometric contraction occurs when a muscle generates tension without changing its length. The muscle remains the same length while contracting. **2. Definition of Isotonic Contraction:** - Isotonic contraction occurs when a muscle changes length while generating tension. This can be further divided into two types: concentric (muscle shortens) and eccentric (muscle lengthens). ...

If a small load is attached to a muscle that is then tetanically stimulated, the muscle will lift the load in an isotonic contraction over a certain distance and then stop shortening and enter a state of isometric contraction. If a heavier load is used, the distance shortened before entering an isometric contraction is shorter. Explain these shortening limits in terms of the sliding filament model of contraction and the length-tension relation.
