The rising phase of a muscle twitch represents ________. the time of relaxation of the muscle fibers the time between stimulus and active muscle contraction the time of shortening of the sarcomeres of the muscle fibers
Adi S.
During the latent period of a muscle twitch, there is no tension in the muscle yet there is cellular activity. Describe what happens inside of a muscle fiber during the latent period. List the steps below. Effect of Stimulus Voltage: What is the minimum voltage needed to produce contraction in the frog gastrocnemius? What is the minimum voltage needed to produce maximum contraction of the muscle?
