Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A graded response of posture muscles such as the gluteus maximus is called muscle tone. Muscle tone is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles that allows for maintaining posture and balance. Atrophy is a decrease in muscle mass and strength, while hypertrophy is an increase in muscle mass and strength. Maximal stimulus is the point at which the highest level of response is achieved in a muscle or nerve cell.
