Difference between Muscle and Spasticity

Muscle vs. Spasticity

Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Spasticity is a feature of altered skeletal muscle performance with a combination of paralysis, increased tendon reflex activity, and hypertonia.

Similarities between Muscle and Spasticity

Muscle and Spasticity have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Brain, Central nervous system, Motor neuron, Muscle contraction, Muscle tone, Nerve, Skeletal muscle, Spinal cord, Strength training, Stroke, Tendon.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Motor neuron

A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

Muscle contraction

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers.

Muscle tone

In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state.

Nerve

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system.

Skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.

Strength training

Strength training is a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles.

Stroke

A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death.

Tendon

A tendon or sinew is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension.

Muscle and Spasticity Comparison

Muscle has 218 relations, while Spasticity has 62. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 4.29% = 12 / (218 + 62).
