Line of pull |
|
Definition
| The direction of the muscle from its origin to its insertion. The line of pull across a joint will determine the function(s) of the muscle. |

Definition
| contraction occurs when tension generated by the muscle is fficient to overcome a resistance, and moves (at a joint) a body segment of one attached toward the segment of its other attached(the upward or shortening phase of a biceps curl). |

|
Definition
| Contraction occurs when a muscle slowly lowers a resistance (lengthening phase) as it returns from its shortened phase to mornal resting length. |
