Question
which term best describes the ability for a muscle to stretch without tearing (within limits)?
answers: a - e
a elasticity
b electrical excitability
c contractility
d extensibility
e geometricallty
Extensibility is the property of muscle that allows it to stretch without tearing (within limits). Elasticity is the ability to return to original shape after stretching. Electrical excitability is related to response to electrical stimuli. Contractility is the ability to shorten. Geometricality is not a relevant muscle property term. So, extensibility is the correct answer.
