Which of the following are specialized functional properties of skeletal muscle?
A
Irrititability
B
Contractility
C
Extensibility
D
Elasticity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Extensibility: It is the ability of the muscles to extend when it is stretched. Elasticity: It is the ability of the muscles to return to its original structure when released. Excitability: It is the ability of the muscle to respond to a stimulus. More items •31-Oct-2019

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle fibers are one of the four main categories of vertebrate cells specialized for contraction, and they are responsible for all voluntary movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Muscle’s elasticity returns it to normal resting length following a stretch and provides for the smooth transmission of tension from muscle to bone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Elasticity is the ability to recoil or bounce back to the muscle’s original length after being stretched.
