Abstract
Tension changes caused by slow stretch or release of actively contracting muscle are accompanied by axial displacements of myosin heads (i.e., cross-bridges) from the positions characteristic of isometric contraction. The direction of the axial displacement appears to affect the rate of cross-bridge detachment or reattachment during muscle-length changes.Entities:
