Summary Introduction

To review:

Nature and physiological significance of the series-elastic component of muscle contraction.

Introduction:

The muscle contraction is a result of various processes. Muscle fibers change the length when they contract and relax. The muscles exhibit different types of contractions. The aprts of muscles that cannot contract must be tightly pulled in order to achieve muscle length which is shortening during the contraction.
