A twitch is defined as a single, brief contraction period and then relaxation period of a skeletal muscle in response to a single stimulation. Contraction period involves receptive power strokes that pull the thin filaments past the thick filaments shortening sacromeres and muscle tension increases as the sacromeres shorten. Relaxation period begins with or release of cross bridges resulting from the return of Ca2+ back to sarcoplasmic reticulum. The strength of skeletal muscle contractions can be broadly separated into twitch, summation, and tetanus. A twitch is a single contraction and relaxation cycle produced by an action potential within the muscle fiber itself.

A fox is a type of mammal that is related to dogs. How does a fox most likely respond to hot air temperatures in a way that ecto
sveta [45]

Answer:

By panting or breathing heavily.

Explanation:

<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>

The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.

Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.

Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.

<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>
