Extensibility is the ability to be stretched or increase in length, and
elasticity is the ability to return to normal length after a stretch. Muscle’s
elasticity returns it to normal resting length following a stretch and
provides for the smooth transmission of tension from muscle to bone.
Irritability and the Ability to Develop Tension
Irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus. Stimuli affecting
muscles are either electrochemical, such as an action potential from the
attaching nerve or mechanical, such as an external blow to a portion of
a muscle. When activated by a stimulus, muscle responds by
developing tension.
