Relax
Increasing stimulation up to the maximal stimulus
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.
Our eyes adapt completely to repeated visual stimulus because
simply: Wave summation occurs when a second stimulus is applied before relaxation occurs completely. In depth: In order for a muscle to contract electrical shock or nerve impulse must cause voltage-sensitive tubule proteins (T-tubules) of sarcoplasmic reticulum to change shape and allow Ca2+ into cytosol. Ca2+ binds to troponin (changing its shape) allowing myosin (makes thick filaments) to attach to actin ( makes thin filaments). Myosin pulls itself along actin via ATP hydrolysis, this is called a cross bridge cycle, basically shortening of muscle. Before the contraction stops, another stimulus is sent to the muscle allowing more Ca2+ into the cytosol which keeps allowing cross bridge cycle. wave summation means the contractions are added together. thus increasing the force of the second stimuli. force will increase until the muscle reaches its threshold.
Positive feedback increases the original stimulus. An example is labor contractions. The initial contraction signals the body to release hormones that increase the frequency and intensity of subsequent contractions.
The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by increasing the stimulation up to the maximal stimulus. There are various classifications of contractions, including eccentric and concentric.
Varying stimulus strength affects twitch force because it determines the number of motor units that are recruited to contract the muscle fibers. As the stimulus strength increases, more motor units are recruited, leading to greater force production. Conversely, lower stimulus strength recruits fewer motor units and results in weaker contractions.
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.
In fact it is not treppe it is wave summation. 4th year bio med! I KNOW MY STUFF!!
The property of automaticity allows smooth and cardiac muscles to spontaneously initiate their own contractions without needing an external stimulus. This is due to the presence of pacemaker cells in these muscle tissues that can generate action potentials independently.
The phenomenon you are referring to is called the second stimulus before relaxation, which causes increased force, is known as the treppe effect or the staircase phenomenon. This is characterized by the successive increase in muscle contraction force when muscle fibers are stimulated with increasing frequency.
Summation in anatomy refers to the process by which multiple individual muscle twitches are combined to produce a sustained contraction of a muscle. This phenomenon involves the additive effect of multiple stimuli on a muscle fiber. It is essential for generating smooth and coordinated movements in the body.
