1. what is it called when you overstretch or tear a muscle fiber or tendon?

a sprain
b muscle spasm
c muscle strain
d muscle break

Explanation:

• Question 5: An overuse injury is typically caused by repetitive motion. A strain is an overstretch or tear of a muscle or tendon, often due to overuse. A laceration is a cut, a blister is a fluid - filled bubble on the skin (usually from friction), and a sprain is an injury to a ligament (not usually an overuse injury).
• Question 6: Extension is the movement that increases the angle of a joint. Hyperextension is an excessive extension beyond the normal range. Flexion decreases the joint angle. “Hepraextension” is not a valid term.
• Question 7: When you overstretch or tear a muscle fiber or tendon, it is called a muscle strain. A sprain is a ligament injury. A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction. “Muscle break” is not a standard medical term for this type of injury.

1. D. strain
