The contraction and relaxation of muscles produce movement at various joints around the body. Electrical excitability refers to the ability of a muscle to respond to stimuli, such as neurotransmitters, by eliciting an electrical signal called an action potential. Extensible refers to the ability of a muscle to stretch Contractility refers to the ability of a muscle to shorten in response to an action potential. Elasticity refers to the ability of a muscle to recover its original shape after contraction or extension. Continuous or sporadic contraction of skeletal muscles around the body helps us to maintain our posture and position
