Summary Introduction
To review:
The cause of muscle tone and the fate of a muscle in case it loses its tone.
Introduction:
The skeletal muscles can be voluntarily controlled. They can be contracted and relaxed at a person’s will. In spite of this, the muscle tone, which prevents the relaxation of the muscles, is not under one’s control.
