• The ability to relax

• The ability to respond to stimuli

• The ability to grow

Which of the following is an example of a stimulus that muscles can respond to?

• Sound

• Motor neurons

• Temperature

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of muscle contractility?

• Ability to lengthen

• Ability to shorten

• Ability to contract

• Ability to generate force

Which of the following is NOT related to muscle extensibility?

• Stretching

• Tearing

• Flexibility

• Rigidity

Extensibility is a property of which body tissue?

• Bone

• Muscle

• Skin

• Fat

What happens to a muscle when it loses its elasticity?

• It becomes stronger

• It cannot return to its original shape

• It stretches more easily

• It contracts more quickly

The diagram in the learning material illustrates:

• Muscle contraction

• Muscle elasticity

• Muscle fatigue

• Muscle growth

Why is elasticity important for muscle function?

• It helps muscles grow larger

• It allows muscles to return to their original shape after being stretched

• It increases muscle endurance

• It enhances muscle contraction speed

• Circulation

• All body movements

• Hormone production

Which type of muscle tissue is responsible for voluntary movements?
