Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ability of a muscle to stretch without being damaged is referred to as?
A
Excitability
B
Elasticity
C
Extensibility
D
Contractility
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Extensibility is one of the most important characteristics of muscle tissues. It is defined as the ability of the muscle tissues to stretch beyond their normal resting length and still undergo contraction normally without damage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Excitability: this refers to muscle tissue being able to react to nervous stimulation. Extensibility: this refers to the ability of muscle tissue to lengthen when contracting and provide the effort required to move the lever system (the bones and joints), producing coordinated movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extensibility and Elasticity As shown in Figure 6-1, extensibility is the ability to be stretched or to increase in length, and elasticity is the ability to return to normal length after a stretch.
