Match the following:
-The situation in which contractions become stronger due to stimulation before complete relaxation occurs.
A)Tetanus
B)Maximal stimulus
C)Wave summation
D)Muscle tone
E)Multiple motor unit summation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wave summation refers to the phenomenon in which repeated stimuli before the muscle returns to its resting state result in stronger and more prolonged contractions. This is also known as temporal summation.

Answer: A
 Tetanus is a sustained contraction that occurs when a muscle is stimulated rapidly and repeatedly, without allowing it to relax completely. This results in a smooth and sustained contraction.

Answer: D
 Muscle tone refers to the constant and slight tension that is present in muscles, even at rest. This tension helps to maintain posture and skeletal stability.

Answer: E
 Multiple motor unit summation refers to the process by which the strength of a muscle contraction is increased by recruiting more motor units. This is achieved by increasing the frequency of stimulation, which results in the recruitment of more motor units.

Answer: B does not match any of the given explanations.
