Treppe is an improvement in the force generated by a muscle fiber as it warms up. The phenomenon occurs due to the increase in temperature because of an increase in cell activity. The improvement comes because the enzymes and proteins in the system become more efficient at a slightly higher temperature. This is somewhat analogous to how an increase in temperature increases the rate of chemical reaction.

What is muscle treppe?
•Increased contraction in response to multiple stimuli of same strength
What condition causes increasingly stronger contraction owing to increased stimulus strength?
Treppe
A contraction that causes a muscle to lengthen rather than shorten is called?
An eccentric contraction is one that causes a muscle to lengthen.
What is a treppe?
A treppe is a gradual increase in muscle contractions following rapidly repeated stimulation. When a muscle is stimulated a second time immediately after the first , the next muscle will be higher in intensity.
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What conditions cause contractions of arteriole smooth muscle?
Asthma causes contraction of the bronchial smooth muscle.
Contraction of a muscle resulting in its shortening?
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten is called a concentric contraction. A concentric contraction is a type of isotonic contraction.
Contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the lens to bend the light less?
false
What type of cellular respiration causes muscle contraction?
Aerobic cellular respiration produces energy for muscle contraction but this is not what causes the contractions. The binding properties between the proteins actin and myosin are what give muscles the ability to contract.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
What is a reflect muscle?
It is a muscle reflex. A very fast, involuntary muscle contraction. Because of this, it causes you to jerk your hand away after touching a hot iron.
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
