Everything about Tonic Physiology totally explained
Tonic in physiology refers to a
muscle which is predominantly
toned. The opposite of tonic is
phasic.
Human tonic muscles
It can specifically refer to a muscle which is composed mainly of slow muscle fibers. As these types of muscles (
trapezius,
calves,
jaw) tend to be toned, they tend to shorten and be
relatively inflexible and therefore tend to be short in humans.
Typical tonic muscles include muscles which are used to protect and prepare the body under
fight or flight situations, a reaction to the hormones
epinephrine (adrenaline) and
cortisol and other innate
autonomic nervous system reactions.
