Contractility refers to the ability of a muscle to shorten in response to an action potential. Continuous or sporadic contraction of skeletal muscles around the body helps us to maintain our posture and position The contraction and relaxation of muscles produce movement at various joints around the body. Elasticity refers to the ability of a muscle to recover its original shape after contraction or extension. Electrical excitability refers to the ability of a muscle to respond to stimuli, such as neurotransmitters, by eliciting an electrical signal called an action potential.
