Relier Pairs properties of muscle tissueVersion en ligne muscular system par Alexandria Moore 1 Electrical excitability 2 Thermogenesis 3 Body movements 4 Contractile 5 Maintain body positions 6 Extensible 7 Elastic Continuous or sporadic contraction of skeletal muscles around the body helps us to maintain our posture and position Contracting muscles produce heat as a byproduct, and this contributes to the maintenance of normal body temperature. 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. Contractility refers to the ability of a muscle to shorten in response to an action potential. Extensible refers to the ability of a muscle to stretch
