When muscle stimuli occur at such a fast rate that twitches fuse and no relaxation occurs it is called?
There are number of different types of tetanus:
Complete tetanus occurs when stimuli to a muscle are repeated so rapidly that decrease of tension between stimuli cannot be detected. However, it is not usually seen except in laboratory settings or due to an infection by a microbe producing the tetanus toxin.
Unfused tetanus occurs if the stimulus strength is held constant and the muscle is stimulated at an increasingly faster rate moving to a sustained but quivering contraction.
Incomplete tetanus is repeated stimulation of the muscle so that the muscle is never allowed to completely relax.
Fused tetanus happens when the stimulus rate is so high that no muscle relaxation takes place between stimuli. Under normal conditions, the maximum firing rate of motor neurons is less than that required for fused tetanus.
Your best answer is either just plain tetanus or perhaps incomplete tetanus.
What else can I help you with?
A sustained muscle contraction due to a lack of relaxation between successive stimuli is called?
tetanus
Result of stimuli arriving one after another so quickly that twitches overlap?
Tetanus, also known as fused or complete tetanus, occurs when stimuli arrive so rapidly that twitches merge into a sustained contraction. This leads to continuous muscle tension and the inability for the muscle to relax. It is different from the normal twitch response to individual stimuli.
What is the difference between unfused tetanus and fused tetanus?
Unfused tetanus-"the relaxation time between successive twitches will get shorter as the strength of contraction increases in amplitude." On the other hand, Fused tetanus-"Smooth, sustained muscle contraction."
What period is a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily?
The period when a muscle is unable to respond to stimuli temporarily is called the refractory period. This period allows the muscle to reset and recover before it can receive and respond to additional stimuli.
What muscle do animals have that humans do not have?
cutaneous trunci, the muscle that twitches the skin.
What is summation is anatomy?
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.
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate eliminating a relaxation phase the amount of tension gradually increases to a steady maximum?
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate without allowing for relaxation, a phenomenon called tetanus occurs. This results in a sustained contraction where individual muscle twitches fuse together, leading to an increase in tension. The steady maximum tension reached is due to the accumulation of calcium ions in the muscle fibers, which enhances cross-bridge formation between actin and myosin filaments. This state maximizes force production as the muscle maintains a continuous contraction.
Does muscle relaxation does not require ATP?
Both muscle relaxation and muscle contraction require ATP.
How do you change this question into direct statement - can muscle relaxation help you?
muscle relaxation can help you!
When the frequency of stimulation of a muscle is great enough?
wave summation results and muscle twitches overlap.
How does fusion frequency relate to tetanus?
The fusion frequency is the minimum stimulus required to elicit tetanus in a muscle. For example, the fusion frequency can be given in terms of volts (V), or it can be given in terms of whatever units by which the applied stimuli are being measured.
