MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Elasticity is the ability to recoil or bounce back to the muscle’s original length after being stretched.

Detailed explanation-2: -A muscle can return to its original length when relaxed due to a quality of muscle tissue called elasticity. It can recoil back to its original length due to elastic fibers. Muscle tissue also has the quality of extensibility; it can stretch or extend.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle cells shorten when contracting, but they can stretch, even beyond their resting length, when relaxed. Elasticity is the ability of a muscle cell to recoil and resume its resting length after stretching.

Detailed explanation-4: -Extensibility-ability of a muscle to be stretched without tearing; Elasticity-ability to return to its normal shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -Extensibility means that muscles can be stretched to their normal resting length and beyond to a limited degree. Elasticity means that if muscles are stretched, they recoil to their original resting length.
