Physioex 8.0 Exercise 2 Skeletal Muscle Physiology

Can somepone please help me with this. This is the only question I have left. I am looking for reasoning behind it so I can learn it cause I just dont understand this.

5. Explain what happens to muscle force production at extremes of length (too short or too long). (Hint: Think about sarcomere structure and actin and myosin interactions)

Muscle too short: ____


Muscle too long: ____


Also..... can someone tell me if these 2 are correct

4. Highlight the correct response in the parentheses for each statement.

An increase in resting length results in a(n) ( increase / decrease ) in passive force.

As the total force increased, the active force ( increased / decreased ).

I put increase/increased for both of them however I think I am wrong on the first one.

Thank you for your help.
