The smooth, but steady, increase in muscular tension produced by increasing the number of active motor units is called a recruitment.

Muscle tension is the force produced when a muscle contracts (or when sarcomeres shorten). The two primary forms of skeletal muscle contractions, isotonic contractions and isometric contractions, are produced when a muscle contracts against a load that is not moving.

  1. A load is transported as the length of the muscle varies during isotonic contractions, in which the tension in the muscle remains constant (shortens). Concentric and eccentric contractions are the two varieties of isotonic contractions.
  2. When a muscle contracts isometrically, the angle of a skeletal joint remains the same while tension is produced in the muscle. Sarcomeres shorten and muscles tense up during isometric contractions, but the load is not moved since the force generated is insufficient to overcome the resistance provided by the load.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

D) Cartilaginous synchondrosis

Explanation:

Cartilaginous synchondrosis is a joint in which the bones are joined to the hyaline cartilage or the hyaline cartilage joins the bones.

The synchondrosis is of two types- the temporary and permanent synchondrosis in which the temporary synchondrosis represents the growth plate or epiphyseal plate of the hyaline cartilage which connects the shaft of the bones to the end of the bone.

The thickness of the epiphyseal plate in the children does not change as the bone lengthens.

Thus, D) Cartilaginous synchondrosis is the correct answer.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Tectonic plates often shift position by the force of liquid rock emerging from blow the earth's surface and then cooling to form hard rock. This most often occurs On the ocean floor.

When tectonic plates move, They move along the ocean floor, which is the crust, and It cause earthquakes and volcanoes and also caused Pangaea to break apart and become what it is now, The seven continents.

Hope this helped :)

have a great day
