question
which of the following effects of aging on the muscular system is inaccurate?
answer
skeletal muscle fibers diameter decreases in size, primarily due to a reduction in the number of myofibrils.
a lower tolerance for exercise results in part from the reduction in the ability to eliminate the heat generated during muscular contraction.
skeletal muscles develop fibrosis, making the muscle less flexible and less elastic.
the amount of fibrous tissue decreases with age, resulting in limited repair capabilities.
i dont know yet
As we age, the amount of fibrous tissue in muscles actually increases, not decreases. This increase in fibrous tissue is associated with muscle - related changes such as fibrosis, which limits repair capabilities and reduces flexibility and elasticity. The other options about aging effects on the muscular system are accurate.
