Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs
match each characteristic of muscular tissue to its description.
contractility elasticity extensibility excitability
the ability of a muscle to stretch
the ability of a muscle to contract or shorten when stimulated
the ability of a muscle to receive and respond to stimuli
the ability of a muscle to return to its original length

Explanation:

• Extensibility: This term directly relates to the ability of a muscle to stretch.
• Contractility: By definition, it is the ability of a muscle to contract or shorten when stimulated.
• Excitability: It is about the muscle's ability to receive and respond to stimuli.
• Elasticity: This characteristic is associated with the muscle's ability to return to its original length.

Answer:

• "the ability of a muscle to stretch" → extensibility
• "the ability of a muscle to contract or shorten when stimulated" → contractility
• "the ability of a muscle to receive and respond to stimuli" → excitability
• "the ability of a muscle to return to its original length" → elasticity
