Definitions:

Isotonic Contraction

A type of muscle contraction in which the muscle changes length while the tension remains constant, usually resulting in movement.

Action Potential

A rapid increase and decrease in the electrical charge across a cell's membrane, allowing nerve cells to communicate.

Muscle Tension

The force generated by a muscle or group of muscles during contraction, resisting stretching or loading.

Contraction

Contraction refers to the process of muscle fibers shortening in length to produce movement, a response critical for various bodily functions including locomotion and organ operation.
