Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This describes incomplete tetanus, which occurs when tension production reaches a peak and there are very brief periods of relaxation in between. In contrast, complete tetanus occurs when there is constant tension production without any relaxation periods, and tension plateau occurs when there is a sustained but sub-maximal level of tension production. Resting period and latency are not related to muscle tension production.
