The relationship between the amplitude of muscle response and the voltage of the stimulus is generally linear. As the voltage of the stimulus increases, the muscle response increases in amplitude up to a certain point. Beyond that point, further increases in voltage may not significantly increase the muscle response amplitude or could lead to muscle fatigue or damage.
The time it takes from recognizing a stimulus to the initiation of a muscle response (the muscle response can be recorded using an EMG).
Latent period
The threshold stimulus is the stimulus required to create an action potential. So any stimulus under this level will not cause muscle contraction, while a stimulus above this level will cause the muscle to contract. The higher the stimulus the more muscle fibers are recruited, and thus the higher the response.
The sodium potassium pump uses ATP to reach the stimulus and move muscle tissue (primarily skeletal muscle). The threshold stimulus must be reached in order to carry out the full signal.
Threshold stimulus
It is called the threshold voltage and is around -70 mvolts.
it means that no matter what stimulus is applied the cardiac muscle will not be able to contract
Each of the individual muscle fibers in the muscle are contracted when the maximal stimulus is achieved. Dr. H.
The maximal stimulus is the strongest stimulus that produces increased muscle contractile force.
belly
the muscle would increase in tension to a level greater than that measured at the beginning of phase C.
