Which of the following is affected by the shape of a muscle?

Ability of a muscle to produce force

Extensibility

Ability of muscle to be passively stretched beyond its normal resting length

Contractility

Ability of muscle to contract and develop tension or internal force against resistance when stimulated

Elasticity

Ability of muscle to return to its original length following stretching

Which of the following is a true statement regarding stabilizer muscles?

Are essential in establishing a relatively firm base for the more distal joints to work form when carrying out movements

Muscles provide all of the following except?

Attachment points for other muscles

Which of the following is a true statement regarding agonist muscles?

Causes a joint motion through a specified plane of motion when contracting concentrically

Which of the following is not true regarding concentric muscle contractions?

Commonly described as being a negative type of contraction

Which of the following is not a property of skeletal muscle tissue that allows for force production and movement about joints?

Constrictability

Which of the following is true regarding concentric muscle contractions?
