Term
| force-velocity relationship |
|
Definition
| This relationship reflects the fact that it takes muscle more time to generate more force. For rapid shortening of the muscle, only a little force can be generated. |
|
|
Term
| length tension relationship |
|
Definition
| The number of myosin heads aligned with binding sites on actin determines how much force that can be generated by a muscle cell. Changing the alignment changes number of sites where these proteins interact, which in turn changes the amount of force that muscle cell can generate. |

Term
|
Definition
| To generate more force by a muscle, it is natural to stretch it before it contracts. This stretch increases the power output by the muscle. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Increments in force, such as lifting a light load, adding a little more to it and a little more, etc. requires the muscle to respond by generating more and more tension. That incremental tension development is achieved by this. |
