What does 160% of the resting muscle length mean

Expert Solution

The strong external force on muscle can lengthen it beyond resting length. This elongation can reach 160% of resting length from which point structural damage like breakage occurs. Further the stretch more miscle resist.

A 50 year-old male patient presented to his physician with a resting blood pressure of 160/100. He had no other medical concerns. He was prescribed Losartan, 50mg per day. This medication is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Discuss how a drop in renal blood flow will result in the formation of angiotensin II, and why Losartan will prevent a blood pressure increase.
