The Properties of the Striated Muscles
Excitability: designates the capacity of the muscle to enter a state of excitability when stimulated. Elasticity: designates the capacity of the muscle to restore to the original shape after contraction. Conductibility: designates the capacity of the muscle to propagate the excitation through the muscular fibre at a certain speed. Contractibility: designates the capacity of the muscle to change in shape while under the action of a stimulus.
