Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tendon is an example of a series elastic component, as it stores energy during muscle contraction and releases it during relaxation, allowing for efficient movement. The other statements are incorrect; parallel elastic components are not only involved in post-contraction movement, epimysium is not an example of a series elastic component, and parallel elastic components do not "uncrimp" tendons.
