The condition that causes increasingly stronger contraction owing to increased stimulus strength is called treppe, also known as the staircase phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs when muscle fibers are stimulated rapidly with increasing strength. As a result, the force of contraction increases as the muscle gradually reaches its maximum potential.
The phenomenon of increasingly stronger contractions owing to increased stimulus strength is called recruitment. It involves activating more muscle fibers within a muscle to generate greater force in response to a stronger stimulus.
true
Yes, varying the stimulus strength can affect the twitch force produced by a muscle. Increasing the stimulus strength can lead to a stronger muscle contraction by recruiting more muscle fibers to generate force. Conversely, decreasing the stimulus strength may result in a weaker twitch force as fewer muscle fibers are activated.
•Increased contraction in response to multiple stimuli of same strength
Increasing the stimulus to an isolated muscle increases the strength of a contraction. A muscle begins to contract when the stimulus is given; however, if the muscle does not finish contracting before the next stimulus hits, then the force of the contraction will increase to finish the contraction. This is known as wave summation.
Stimulus strength affects twitch force because a stronger stimulus leads to recruitment of more motor units within the muscle, resulting in more muscle fibers contracting simultaneously. This leads to a greater force output during muscle contraction.
It is the variation of stimulation needed in skeletal muscle contraction in order to have controlled movement.
The all-or-none response means that a muscle fiber contracts fully or not at all in response to a stimulus. The strength of a muscle contraction is determined by the number of muscle fibers that are recruited to contract, rather than the degree of contraction of individual muscle fibers. Therefore, the all-or-none response influences the overall strength of a muscle contraction by determining how many muscle fibers are activated.
<P> <P>The stimulus frequency is how often the stimulus is admitted. For example, every 30 seconds, every minute and 1/2, etc. <P>Stimulus strength describes the level of force used to administer the stimulus such as mild, moderate or maximum.</P>
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.
The characteristics are modality (type of stimulus), intensity (strength of stimulus), duration (length of stimulus), and location (where the stimulus occurred).
