Wave summation releases more calcium and increases the force of contraction by increasing the firing rate of motor neurons (The second contraction takes place before the first is completely at rest) so each stimulation adds up. This is all within ONE MUSCLE FIBER.

Recruitment is the calling up multiple MOTOR UNITS, in order to increase the force of contraction. t has a size principle (those with small diameters, the more delicate ones are called first, then the larger and so on.) There is no added calcium ions as in wave summation.

They usually occur together.

wave summation can cause tetanus, while recruitment cannot.

When does wave summation occurs?

Wave summation occurs when a muscle is stimulated rapidly enough that it does not have time to completely relax between stimuli, causing the contractions to combine or "summate" to produce a stronger muscle contraction. This phenomenon can occur during repetitive or sustained muscle activity, leading to increased muscle force production.


What wave summation results in stronger contractions at the same stimulus strength because the muscle doesn't have time to completely what between successive stimuli?

Relax


What is the primary function of wave summation?

What is the difference between two crests of a wave?

The difference between two crests of a wave is the wavelength, which is the distance between two successive crests. It represents the distance the wave travels during one complete cycle.


What is the difference between one point of the wave to another point of the wave?

The difference between one point of a wave and another point is the phase difference, which reflects how much the wave has shifted in terms of position or time. This phase difference determines whether the points are in phase (crest aligns with crest or trough with trough), out of phase (crest aligns with trough), or somewhere in between.

What is the main difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave?

The main difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave is the direction of particle oscillation relative to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave travel, while in a transverse wave, particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
