Summation and Tetanus Complete the following statements regarding summation and tetanus. Not all choices will be used. Summation is muscle contraction. Tetanus is sustained muscle contraction. Repeated muscle results in summation and tetanus. This creates greater force because the muscle between stimuli.
Adi S.
If a second stimulus arrives before the relaxation phase has ended, a second, more powerful contraction occurs. This addition of one twitch to another is called recruitment. complete tetanus. wave summation. treppe. incomplete tetanus.
Sri K.
Low-frequency repeated stimulation during the relaxation phase can cause a wave summation in a skeletal muscle fiber.
