Q

Why do pennate muscles generate greater force than parallel muscles?

A

The angle of the muscle fibres allows a greater number of fibres to fit in the same area than parallel muscles, allowing more force to be generated.

Q

Why do muscles consisting of pennate fibres have a small range of motion?

A

Pennate fibres can only contract by half the length of their shortest fibre. The oblique arrangement leaves some very short fibres on the edges, which creates a small ROM.

Q

What is eccentric muscle action?

A

Muscle fibres are active, developing tension. Load exceeds tension, so muscle lengthens. Usually, another muscle causes this lengthening. Changes joint position

Q

What is isometric muscle action?

A

Muscle fibres are active, but the load is equal and opposite to the applied force, so there is no change in muscle length or joint position.
