MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Elasticity– The muscles have the ability to recoil back to its original length after being stretched. Excitability– The muscle tissue responds to a stimulus delivered from a motor neuron or hormone.

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: -Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched or extended. Elasticity is the ability to a muscle to return to its original length when relaxed.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Elasticity – the ability to recoil to its original length after being stretched. B. Structure.
