  • Muscle contraction
    • Isotonic
      • Muscle changes length as it contracts.
      • There are 2 types of isotonic contractions.
        • Concentric contraction - muscle shortens as it contacts.
        • Eccentric contraction - muscle lengthens to control downward.
    • Isometric
      • Muscle stays the same length
      • No movement of either limb or joint.
      • Muscles are working to keep the joint stable.
    • tendons attach muscle to bone.
