"The strength of a muscle fiber response increases if another stimulus is applied before relaxation is finished" is best defined by the word:
forced contraction
summation
tetany
myogram
What is the period of time between a stimulus and response called?
response stimulation
period of relaxation
latent period
Muscle tone is best defined by...
motor units that have undergone sustained contraction over and over again
muscles that can respond to a variety of stimulus strengths
the ability to do more fine motor movements
the faster contraction of a muscle compared to another
What is a myogram?
a test to see how well a muscle performs
doctor's measurement of a muscle
a graphic representation of the velocity and intensity of muscular contractions
representation of all the muscle's in a body
What term is: "a sustained maximum muscle fiber response produced by a high frequency of stimuli that don't allow a muscle to relax"?
sustained stimuli
latency
muscle tone
What is an "all-or-none response"?
when a muscle contracts in the opposite direction
when a muscle fiber responds fully or not at all
when the fibers respond in different ways
when a muscle contracts fully or not at all
A threshold stimulus is...
a stimuli that isn't acted upon
the limit of the amount of pain a person can handle
the intensity of a stimulation needed to make a contraction occur
the minimum number of muscles moving needed to move a body part
