Which of These Statements Applies to the Length-Tension Relationship

Multiple Choice

Which of these statements applies to the length-tension relationship

A) It refers to the relationship between the length of the muscle before the onset of contraction and the tetanic tension that each contracting fibre can subsequently develop at that length.
B) It is based on the amount of overlap of thick and thin filaments.
C) It allows no tension to develop if the whole muscle is stretched to 30 percent longer than its optimal length.
D) Within the body, it is limited to a functional range because of limitations on muscle length imposed by attachment to the skeleton.
