Maximal stimuli refer to the strongest level of stimulus that can elicit the greatest response from a biological system, such as a nerve or muscle. It represents the threshold beyond which no further increase in response occurs, indicating that all available receptors or pathways are fully activated. In the context of experimental psychology or physiology, it helps researchers understand the limits of sensory perception or physiological responses.
What else can I help you with?
What is maximal speed?
Maximal strength is when your stamina improves in your muscle's.
Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase?
Yes. ....Up to a point. There is a threshold the stimulus must surpass before creating a CAP (compound action potential). Anything below this threshold is called subthreshold. Once the stimulus is strong enough cause a CAP it is a stimulus threshold. At this point the CAP will continue to increase as the intensity of the stimulus increases (now termed suprathreshold) until a maximal stimulus causes a maximum response. Any stimulus stronger than the maximal stimulus is called a supramaximal and does not result in any larger a CAP than the maximum response caused by the maximal stimulus. source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann12.html
What voltage produced maximal contraction of the muscle?
The voltage that produces maximal contraction of a muscle is called the maximal stimulus voltage. This voltage is typically higher than the threshold voltage required to elicit a muscle contraction and ensures that all muscle fibers within a motor unit are stimulated to contract simultaneously, leading to a stronger contraction.
What do the 5 main type of receptors sense?
Chemoreceptors sense chemical stimuli. Mechanoreceptors sense mechanical stimuli. Thermoreceptors sense temperature stimuli. Photoreceptors sense light stimuli. Nociceptors sense pain stimuli.
A maximal sustained muscle contraction is called a?
tetanic contraction.
What is maximal speed?
Maximal strength is when your stamina improves in your muscle's.
What does the medical abbreviation PMI mean?
Point Of Maximal ImpulsePoint of Maximum impulse or Point of Maximum Intensitypoint of maximal intensitypoint of maximal impulse
Why is there a maximal voltage for muscles?
All of the muscles in the muscle fiber have contracted when there is a maximal voltage and there is a maximal voltage to prevent injury to our muscles. Dr. Sayed
What is the definition of maximal stimulus?
The maximal stimulus is the strongest stimulus that produces increased muscle contractile force.
What is opposite of maximal?
Minimum

What does VO2 refer to?
maximal oxygen consumption
When body reaches its maximal temperature?
