Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are properties of muscles?
A
excitability
B
contractility
C
extensibility
D
all of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles have unique properties like excitability (ability to respond to a stimulus), contractility (property to shorten and return back to original state), extensibility (ability of a muscle to be stretched) and elasticity (ability to recoil or bounce back to its original length).

Detailed explanation-2: -All muscle tissues have four functional properties in common which include excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity.

Detailed explanation-3: -All muscle cells share several properties: contractility, excitability, extensibility, and elasticity: Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to forcefully shorten.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Rhythmicity’

Detailed explanation-5: -Excitable or Irritable. Contractible. Extensible. Elasticity. Adaptability. 14-Sept-2015
