What is the difference between the three types of contractions?
Isotonic contractions: Concentric, Eccentric
Isometric contractions.
Concentric: The muscle produces tension when it shortens/contracts during movement and has to overcome the effect of gravity—Eg—bicep curl.
Eccentric: The muscle produces tension when it lengthens and allows the pull of gravity to overcome the resistance slowly.g_by lowering a barbell in a controlled manner.
Isometric: The muscle stays the same length but tensions exist.
Which arteries carry deoxygenated blood?
