Isometric describes the contraction of muscles when the fibers increase in tension, but do not shorten in length Isometric exercises can be induced in muscles that are used when a limb is made to pull or push against something that does not move
Of equal dimensions In physiology, denoting the condition when the ends of a contracting muscle are held fixed so that contraction produces increased tension at a constant overall length
Noting, or conforming to, that system of crystallization in which the three axes are of equal length and at right angles to each other; monometric; regular; cubic
of or involving muscular contraction in which tension increases while length remains constant of a crystal system characterized by three equal axes at right angles having equal dimensions or measurements related by an isometry
Also called the cubic crystal system Crystals can form in the shape of a cube (like halite and pyrite), an octahedron (diamond), dodecahedron (garnet), trapezohedron (garnet), and others The most common and recognizable in this class are the cube, the octahedron, and the dodecahedron Isometric crystals have three axes of symmetry, all at right angles to each other, and all of the same length Examples: pyrite, halite, garnet
A method of drawing a three-dimensional figure such that the three axes – width, depth and height – are equally inclined and all lengths are drawn to scale Isometric graph paper is drawn in equilateral triangles, instead of squares
