The length-tension relationshipCurve 1 of 2 · Q 1/5
Tension a skeletal muscle develops at different starting lengths. The solid curve is ACTIVE tension (what stimulation adds); the dashed curve is PASSIVE tension from stretching the resting muscle.
↑ Tension · → Muscle (sarcomere) length →
Why is active tension greatest at point B?
