question 17

Multiple Choice

Which of these statements correctly describes the length-tension relationship?

• A)It refers to the relationship between the length of the muscle before the onset of contraction and the tetanic tension that each contracting fibre can subsequently develop at that length.
• B)It is based on the amount of overlap of thick and thin filaments.
• C) It allows no tension to develop if the whole muscle is stretched to 30 percent longer than its optimal length.
• D) Within the body, it is limited to a functional range because of limitations on muscle length imposed by attachment to the skeleton.
