the muscle twitch is a brief and "jerky" movement, while the tetanic contraction is prolonged and continuous
Summation and/or tetanic contraction. Summation is increased muscle contraction until maximal sustained contraction is achieved. Tetanic contraction is sustained muscle contraction without relaxation. If you're inquiring for the Learning Objective Review in an anatomy and physiology course, the question refers to a condition in which some fibers are always contracted... so I'm not sure if they're looking for summation or tetanic contraction - but I think it would be tetanic contraction as summation is more the process leading up to the tetanic contraction...
The contraction of the I band in skeletal muscle helps to shorten the muscle fibers, allowing for movement and muscle contraction. This contributes to the overall function of skeletal muscle by enabling the muscle to generate force and produce movement.
Troponin is another protein involved in skeletal muscle contraction. It works in conjunction with tropomyosin to regulate the interaction between actin and myosin filaments during muscle contraction.
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
Yes, skeletal muscle has T-tubules, which are invaginations of the cell membrane that allow for the rapid transmission of action potentials deep into the muscle fiber. This helps to coordinate the contraction of muscle fibers by ensuring that all parts of the muscle fiber receive the signal to contract simultaneously.
The site of calcium regulation differs

Occurs when acetylcholine (ACh) accumulates in the neuromuscular junction. It is called a tetanic contraction.

Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
yes skeletal muscle stretch by means of contraction.
stimulation of the muscle by a nerve ending.
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
The skeletal muscles do have the involuntary muscle because they help it in the contraction process.
during skeletal muscle contraction ,I band and H zone shortens. Sarcomeres
