Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
T/F-Longer Muscles can exert force over longer distances
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The classic view of skeletal muscle is that force is generated within its muscle fibers and then directly transmitted in-series, usually via tendon, onto the skeleton.

Detailed explanation-2: -It has been known for a long time that the vertebrate striated muscles can exert maximum tensions at constant length (isometric tension) of about 200–300 kPa which are on first approximation independent of the muscle and the body mass [1].

Detailed explanation-3: -A force exerted by our muscles is called muscular force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Increasing or decreasing the number of motor units active at any one time changes the amount of force produced by a muscle.
