Extensibility- ability to extend or stretch Muscle cells shorten when contracting, but they can be stretched, even beyond their resting length, when relaxed Elasticity- ability of a muscle cell to recoil and resume its resting length after stretching What are characteristics of muscle tissue?
- Extensibility Definition - Anatomy and Physiology I Key Term | Fiveable
Definition Extensibility in the context of muscle tissue refers to the ability of muscle fibers to be stretched or extended beyond their resting length This property allows muscles to adapt to the demands placed on them, such as stretching during physical activities
- FUNCTIONS AND PROPERTIES OF MUSCLE TISSUE
Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched For instance, let's reconsider our elbow flexing motion we discussed earlier In order to be able to flex the elbow, the elbow extensor muscles must extend in order to allow flexion to occur Lack of extensibility is known as spasticity

Extensibility is the ability of muscle tissue to stretch or extend Muscle cells can shorten when they contract and also stretch when relaxed They are able to stretch beyond their resting length Elasticity is the ability of muscle tissues to recoil They can then resume their resting lengths after stretching

Muscle tissue also has the quality of extensibility; it can stretch or extend Following contraction or extension, a muscle can return to its original length when relaxed due to a quality of muscle tissue called elasticity
- 7. 1 Overview of Muscle Tissues – Introduction to Human Biology
Muscle tissue also has the quality of extensibility; it can stretch or extend Contractility allows muscle tissue to pull on its attachment points and shorten with force
- Extensibility - Brookbush Institute
Extensibility refers to the ability of a cell to be stretched or lengthened without damage While most cells would rupture with even a modest stretch, muscles can stretch up to three times their contracted length without harm
