Sliding filament theory
Definition
sarcomeres shorten when actin and myosin filaments move past each other
Term
The tension produced by the muscle is maximal when
Definition
the overlap between thick and thin filaments allows for the largest number of myosin cross bridges to bind to actin
Term
Two reasons why tension decreases with increased length
Definition
1. Less overlap, less cross-bridges
2. Thin filaments begin to collide with each other
Term
In isometric contraction

-the length of the muscle doesn't change
-Tension increases and decreases
Term
In isotonic contraction
