Question

Muscular tissue has several important properties, such as electrical excitability. Another property of muscular tissue is that it is able to stretch, and return to its original size and shape. Which property of muscular tissue is this?

a) Conductivity
b) Elasticity
c) Extensibility
d) Plasticity
e) None of these are correct

Answer 1

b) Elasticity

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle tissues exhibit some specific properties. Muscle tissues can increase their original length and become extended. However, muscles have the ability to resume their original length and shape. This ability of muscle tissues is called elasticity. Due to elasticity, muscle tissues contract and extend and thereby, serve in the movement of body parts and body.

Specific structural proteins of myofibrils impart the muscle tissues their elasticity. These structural proteins such as actinin, myomesin, nebulin, etc maintain the proper alignment of thick and thin filaments to allow muscles to remain elastic in nature,
