Describe the 'all or nothing' principle of muscle fiber recruitment?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
HORRIBLY CONDENSED. An electrical event of sufficient strength from the end of a nerve to pass into a muscle fiber(s) (end plate) resulting fiber(s) tension. The more electrical events 'spikes" per second (rate coding) to a point the greater, to a point, the tension(s).

What characteristic does not describe cardiac muscle tissue?
Cardiac muscle tissue is specifically muscle tissue of the heart. It is smooth just like skeletal muscle tissue but has special characteristics that help it to contract at fast, steady rates.
1 Describe the ionic events underlying the nerve action potential 2. Describe the steps in cross bridge cycle that produces skeletal muscle contraction.?
thick filaments pulling thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere
Difference of woman arm and man arm?
Besides the global features of decreased average muscle mass and bone density: Nothing.
What is systole and diastole?
Systole and diastole describe the phase/state the heart is in during a heartbeat. Systole refers to the heart when contracted, and blood is pumped into the arteries. Diastole refers to the heart when it is relaxed and blood enters the upper chambers.
What is the model that best describes the contraction of the muscle called?
There are different models that describe the contraction of muscles. Not everyone agrees on which is best. A couple of the models are the sliding-filament model and Huxley's model.
What is the recruitment principle of weight training?
The recruitment principle of weight training states that if you want to train a muscle (for size, strength, tone, endurance, etc), you have to "recruit" it during your workout. Your calves, for example, will not gain benefit from quadriceps lefts, because the calf muscles aren't recruited (used) in that exercise. The principle applies primarily in compound exercises, such as squats and deadlifts, that recruit multiple muscle groups in a single exercise. Proper form and technique mandates the amount of recruitment each muscle should get in a given exercise, in order to maximize gains and prevent injury.
What is maxiimum recruitment?
In context one can assume that maximum recruitment is refering to "maximum muscle recruitment" or MMR. MMR refers to the percentage of a muscle's strength potential is used.
Explain a muscle spasm in terms of recruitment of muscle fibers?
A muscle spasm is the spontaneous recruitment of muscle fibers. The resulting contraction is usually painful, but it typically resolves very quickly.
What is recruitment anatomy?
Increasing the number of muscle fibers involved in the contraction.
Increasing the number of active motor units is called?
Muscle recruitment
What is an increase in the number of active motor units in a muscle called?
recruitment
What is recruitment in anatomy?
Increasing the number of muscle fibers involved in the contraction.
Is the force of muscle contraction controlled by multiple motor unit summation and recruitment?
True
What is the term that is used to describe the shape of a muscle?
The terms used to describe the shape of a muscle are; deltoid and rhomboid.
What si muscle confusion?
Muscle confusion is the principle of changing your routines to keep your body guessing
Principle by which muscle fibers contract?
Sliding filament mechanism
Which term is used to describe the outer layer of a muscle?
The term used to describe the outer layer of a muscle is the epimysium.
