Muscle tone refers to the continuous and partial state of contraction of muscles, even when an organism is not moving. It helps maintain posture and stabilize joints. Isotonic contraction refers to the type of muscle contraction where the muscle changes length, while muscle fatigue is the state of exhaustion of a muscle when it is unable to contract.
