Question

Which property of muscles allows locomotion and other movements in humans?

• A. Contractility
• B. Excitability
• C. Elasticity
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Muscles have unique properties like excitability (ability to respond to a stimulus), contractility (property to shorten and return back to original state), extensibility (ability of a muscle to be stretched) and elasticity (ability to recoil or bounce back to its original length). These unique properties enable the muscles to bring about various movements in the body.
