When these muscle fibers experience a short burst of stimuli, fatigue sets in within 750 milliseconds of the first stimulus. A single twitch of this type produces the least amount of force among the three muscle fiber types. This muscle fiber type cannot generate any force after three minutes of repeated stimulation.

26. In skeletal muscles, the combined amounts of creatine phosphate and ATP provide enough energy for the muscle to contract maximally for approximately 15 seconds. 27. Which of the following structures consists of a somatic motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates? Motor unit 28. A brief contraction of all muscle fibers in a motor unit in response to a single action potential moving down the somatic motor neuron is known as a twitch contraction. 29. Which of the following is also referred to as the period of lost excitability in skeletal muscle fibers? Latent period 30. A period of sustained skeletal muscle contraction in which individual twitches cannot be detected is called fused tetanus. 31. Increasing the number of active motor units within a skeletal muscle is called motor unit recruitment.
