Response of a motor unit to a single action potential of it motor neuron is called?
muscle twitch
The response of a motor unit to a single action potential of its motor neuron is called?
muscle twitch
What is the difference between a compound action potential and a single action potential?
Single action potentials follow the "all or none" rule. That is, if a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize the membrane of the neuron to threshold (~55mV), then an action potential will be fired. Each stimulus that reaches threshold will produce an action potential that is equal in magnitude to every other action potential for the neuron. Compound action potentials do not exhibit this property since they are a bundle of neurons and have different magnitudes of AP's. Thus compound action potentials are graded. That is, the greater the stimulus, the greater the action potential.
The muscle responsible for action in a single direction is called?
it's called a prime mover
What was the model name of the single action revolver produced by ruger in 30 carbine?
Blackhawk.
A twitch is in response to a single action potential?
Generally not as there are many parallel fibres that are part of the same circuit and some sort of coordination between the fibres are needed before a muscle twitch can be detected. This is either temporal or spatial summation.

Skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron at a single?
Each muscle cell is only innervated by a single motor neuron, but each motor neuron innervates any number of muscle cells. When an action potential travels down the axon of an alpha motor neuron, it will depolarize several muscle cells at the same time, a phenomenon known as summation.
What year was a colt single action frontier scout 22 Lr serial number 13119Q?
It was produced in 1958.
