What are two mechanisms the body uses to regulate the strenght of the muscle contractions?
The body regulates the strength of muscle contractions primarily through two mechanisms: motor unit recruitment and frequency of stimulation. Motor unit recruitment involves activating additional motor units to increase the force of contraction, allowing more muscle fibers to participate in the action. Additionally, the frequency of stimulation refers to the rate at which nerve impulses are sent to the muscle fibers; higher frequencies can lead to greater tension through a process called summation, where successive contractions build on each other.
What is Deep brain stimulation also called?
Electrical stimulation of the brain. DBS.
What is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation also called?
Electrical nerve stimulation

only in the last trimester when they prepare the uterus for labor and are called Braxton Hicks contractions.
How does the stretch reflex cause the quadriceps femoris muscle group to contract?
Tapping on the patellar tendon stretches receptors called the muscle spindles in the quadriceps muscle group of the anterior thigh. This stimulus evokes a rapid motor reflex to contract the quadriceps and shorten the muscles. This process is called the patellar reflex.
What type of contractions are intermittent painless uterine contractions that are not true labor pains?
I think you may be referring to what are called "Braxton-Hicks" contractions.
