  8. What are the 2 kinds of tension within a muscle?

    • ** the total amount of tension within a muscle is a combination of active and passive **
  9. What is active tension?
    • The amount of tension that a muscle can actively generate
    • controlled by: Actin, myosin & the sliding filament theory
  10. What is passive tension?
    • the tension in the non-contractile units of the muscle
    • Increases as it is stretched
    • Decreases when it is contracted

    • The total distance a muscle can lengthen from its maximally shortened position
    • Can shorten to 1/2 its resting length
    • Can lengthen to 1 1/2 its resting length
    • Has the most power at 1.2X it's resting length
  12. Tenodesis
    • Passive tendon tension builds up to the point that it pulls everything in
    • Functional with quadriplegic's to pull in their fingers
  13. Observation of a patient begins when?
    At first contact
  14. Cyanosis
