Question

The muscle relaxes if no new nerve signal arrives.
However the neurotransmitter from the previous
stimulation is still present in the synapse. The activity of
________ helps to remove this neurotransmitter.
a. myosin
b. action potential
c. tropomyosin
d. acetylcholinesterase

Expert Solution
Step 1

The force exerted by the muscle is less than its maximum in a concentric contraction, and the muscle begins to shorten. Muscle contraction is the term for this type of contraction. Muscle contraction is defined/characterised as the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles during/while an activity. It can happen when you stretch/open or workout/exercise with weights, or when you hold or lift up anything. Muscular contraction is frequently followed by muscle relaxation, or the return of contracted muscles to their original state.
