Question

Which  ONE  statement is  INCORRECT  about the development of tension
in skeletal muscle? (Lecture: skeletal muscle, Chapter:force regulation)

Answer

A bigger diameter muscle
fibre can generate more tension because the thick filaments get thicker.

Answer

A muscle can generate more
tension when multiple motor units are recruited.

Answer

A sarcomere will not
develop as much tension when fully stretched, as there is less overlap between
the thick and thin filaments.

Answer

When
a whole muscle is stretched to its maximum, there is passive tension due to the
elastic elements of the muscle.

Answer

A
rapid series of muscle twitches can generate more tension than a single twitch.
