How many different types of contraction is skeletal muscle capable of making?

<span>There are four different types of skeletal muscle contractions: 1. Concentric (isotonic) contractions: In this contraction type, the muscle actively shortening. The raising of a dumbbell during biceps curl exercise is an example of concentric contractions. 2. Eccentric Contractions: During normal daily activity our muscles are often active while they are lengthening. Walking is an example of eccentric contractions. 3. Isometric Contractions: The muscle is activated at a fixed length. Holding an object would be an example of this type of contractions. 4. Passive Stretch: The muscle is being lengthened during in a passive state. An example of this type is the pull one feels in their hamstrings while touching their toes.</span>

There are 3 kinds of contraction in skeletal muscle:
Concentric contraction: The muscle in this contraction will gives force more than the load gives. This will make the muscle shorten as it pulling the load.

Eccentric contraction: In this contraction, the force given by muscle is not enough to pull the load. This causes the load pulling the muscle instead. So the muscle will be lengthened as the load moving away.

Isometric contraction: In this contraction, the length of the muscle will be kept same by adjusting the force given to be equal to the force needed.

Which term specifically describes the categorization of people into ethnic groups without taking into account individual differe
zysi [14]

Answer: D) Stereotyping

Choice A is false because this involves denying a person to do something based on factors such as religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

Choice B is false because this term involves a crime or suspected crime being committed, or about to be committed. And it also makes the assumption based on a person's race.

Choice C is false since segregation is the separation of people usually by race or ethnicity. Though you could have class based segregation (eg: rich vs poor) and other forms.

Choice D is true because stereotyping is where you lump a bunch of people together based on cultural or societal assumptions. Usually it's in the form of "all ___ people do such and such" where you fill in the blank with a specific race or culture.

Ede4ka [16]
All living organisms are made of only 20 different aminoacids- this is the correct answer! This means that the genetic code only codes for those 20 aminoacids (for example Glutamine and  Lysine). 
The 20 aminoacids that can form proteins are also called Proteinogenic amino acids.

KIM [24]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) cerebral cortex.

B) basal nuclei.

C) sensory pathways.

D) motor pathways.

E) All of the answers are correct.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex processes and filters its information before passing the most relevant aspects to other regions of the brain. Some of these brain regions, in turn, send information back to the cortex. These loops, known as 'feedback systems', are considered essential for the functioning of cortical networks and their adaptation to new sensory information. Neural circuits must first assess the importance of incoming sensory information and then refine how it is processed in the future. Positive feedback, triggered with the purpose of amplifying the response to the initial stimulus, can be compared to a chain reaction or a vicious circle. Few are the functions regulated by this mechanism; rather it is triggered in pathological situations. It is the system by means of which the organism very rarely regulates any of the bodily functions under normal conditions, making the initial stimulus to be maintained and even increased. This type of mechanism is predominantly present in pathological situations: Its constitutive elements are: stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector and response. The response does not have the ability to satisfy the initial stimulus.
