A smooth, sustained contraction resulting from very rapid stimulation of the muscle, in which no evidence of relaxation is seen, is called (a) a twitch, (b) temporal summation, (c) multiple motor unit summation, (d) fused tetanus.

When skeletal muscle is stimulated by a series of closely timed separate stimuli, (a) white fibers respond (b) a simple twitch occurs (c) the muscle responds with a smooth, sustained contraction called tetanus (d) red fibers respond (e) summation is inhibited

Transcript

00:01 The question says that a smooth and sustained contraction, so the key word in this question will be your sustained contraction that will distinguish it from different other types of contraction.
00:11 So a sustained contraction and it results from rapid stimulation of muscle and in which there is no evidence of relaxation.
00:25 So it is followed by no relaxation period.
00:29 All these things that are given in this question point towards the characteristic feature of fused tetanus...
