Question text
Muscles exhibit the property of excitability. This means that the muscle
Select one:
a. shortens its length.
b. recoils to its original resting length.

Question 8
Correct

Question text
Why does muscle activity affect the temperature of the body?
Select one:
a. The rate of chemical reactions increases in muscle fibers during contraction, so the rate
of heat production also increases.
b. Muscle contraction generates pyrogens which reset the body's internal thermostat to a
higher temperature.
c. Muscle activity directs more warm blood to the muscles away from the central core
causing a cooling effect on your internal organs.
d. Increased muscle activity causes a rise in adipose stores which increases the insulation
value of the body.
