When an isolated skeletal muscle is stretched beyond its optimal length (but not to the point where damage occurs), there is a reduction in contractile force. This is due to

If a 10L solution with 480 osmoles of NaCl (A) was separated (by a membrane permeable to water but not solutes) from a 6L solution with 252 osmoles of NaCl (B). In comparing the osmolarities of the two solutions, (Hint: Osmoles refers to number of molecules of solute in a solution; therefore 480 is a larger concentration of salt as compared to 252)
