Explain Two Key Concepts of the Sarcomere Length-Tension Relationship

question 28

Multiple Choice

Explain two key concepts of the sarcomere length-tension relationship.

• A)(1)The greater the zone of overlap,the greater the tension the muscle can develop; and (2)there is an optimum range of actin and myosin overlap that will produce the greatest amount of tension.
• B)(1)The smaller the zone of overlap,the greater the tension the muscle can develop; and (2)there is an optimum range of actin and myosin overlap that will produce the greatest amount of tension.
• C)(1)The greater the zone of overlap,the less tension the muscle can develop; and (2)there is an optimum range of actin and myosin overlap that will produce the greatest amount of tension.
• D)(1)The greater the zone of overlap,the greater the tension the muscle can develop; and (2)there is an optimum calcium concentration that will produce the greatest amount of tension.
• E)(1)The smaller the zone of overlap,the greater the tension the muscle can develop; and (2)there is an optimum calcium concentration that will produce the greatest amount of tension.

Definitions:

Sensory Information

Sensory information refers to data received and processed by the sensory organs, such as sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, which is then interpreted by the brain.

Perception

The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events in our environment.

Rods
