In motor unit summation how many motor units are required to lift weight of 160 and 80?
The amount of motor units that is needed to lift 160 pounds will be greater that the number required when lifting 80 pounds. This is due to the nervous system reading the situation and determining the number of units required. The smaller the muscle, the more delicate the control can be.

How do asynchronous motor units summation reduce muscle fatigue and how does this relate to muscle tone?
Asynchronous recruitment of motor units is used to prevent fatigue. While some motor units are active others are inactive. This pattern of firing of motor neurons prevents fatigue while maintaining contraction by allowing a brief rest for the inactive units.
What is difference between single motor unit and multi motor unit?
There is no 'multi motor unit' to be different from a single motor unit!A single motor unit is all the muscle fibers controlled by a single motor neuron.Multiple motor unit summation is when a smooth and steady increase in muscle tension is produced by increasing the number of active single motor units.Notice that what's being described is not something having to do with a some non-existent thing called a 'multi motor unit', but rather is a summation of many active singlemotor units.
What consists of a somatic motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates?
A motor unit consists of a somatic motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates. When the motor neuron fires an action potential, all the muscle fibers in its motor unit contract simultaneously. Motor units vary in size depending on the precision of movement required, with smaller units needed for fine control and larger units for more powerful movements.
Are precise movements controlled by small motor units?
Yes, precise movements are controlled by small motor units. Small motor units are composed of fewer muscle fibers and are responsible for fine motor control and intricate movements. These motor units are recruited for tasks that require precision and accuracy.
What size are the motor units in the eye?
The motor units in the eye are small and fine, typically containing around 10-20 muscle fibers. These motor units are responsible for controlling the movement of the eye muscles with precision and accuracy.

What is multiple motor unit summation or recruitment in a muscle?
When a greater number of motor units are present in a muscle and are able to be simultaneously stimulated causing an increase in muscle force (Sherwood, and Kell 271-272).

When holding an object does the number of motor units remain the same and are the same units used for the duration of holding the object?
The number of motor units involved in holding an object can vary depending on the weight and complexity of the task. Different motor units may be recruited as needed to maintain force and control. Some motor units may be more fatigable and switch during sustained tasks, but this can depend on the individual and the specific task.

What is the difference between wave summation and recruitment?
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.
To accomplish a strong contraction are stimulated at a rapid rate?
many motor units are stimulated
When holding an object steady does the number of motor units remain the same?
Yes it does. As long as the effort to hold the object in a steady position remains the same, then the number of motor units needed to keep it in that position remains the same. It is only when the force, or effort, required to do a specific task changes does the number of motor units needed to accomplish the task change.
