A

ACTIVE INSUFFICIENCY

2
Q

What is the term for when a muscle is at its longest possible length?

A

PASSIVE INSUFFICIENCY

3
Q

Name the 2 terms for active inhibition of a muscle either by its own activity, or that of its antagonist?

A

ACTIVE INHIBITION
A) RECIPROCAL INHIBITION
B) AUTOGENIC INHIBITION

4
Q

How would you define reciprocal inhibition?

A

agonist contracts = antagonist inhibited
- or inversely -
antagonist contracts = agonist inhibited

5
Q

How would you define autogenic inhibition?

A

FOLLOWING MM CONTRACTION, MM REMAINS IN RELAXED STATE FOR BRIEF TIME
(Influence of GTO)

6
Q

What do golgi tendon organs work to protect muscle and mm attachments from?

A

OVER CONTRACTING
+
SUBSEQUENT TEARING

7
Q

When muscle contraction exceeds a certain critical value, there is a relaxation of the muscle via the GTO influence. This is knows as what? (3 (aka))
