This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: contraction of skeletal muscle, contraction of skeletal muscle isometric contraction Tension develops, but load is not moved. This is amount of muscle tension., Response of muscle to a single brief stimulus; muscle contracts quickly and releases 3 phases 1. latent= increased tension, 2. period of contraction 3. period of relaxation, contraction of skeletal muscle load Opposing force exerted on muscle by weight of the object being moved, 1. latent= increased tension 2. period of contraction, contraction of skeletal muscle muscle tension Force exerted on an object by a contracting muscle, contraction of skeletal muscle isotonic contraction Tension overcomes load and muscle shortening occurs. This is amount of muscle shortening, contraction of skeletal muscle muscle twitch Response of muscle to a single brief stimulus; muscle contracts quickly and releases
