DAMAGE TO RECEPTOSITES
summation is the inability of the muscle to relaxes fully when constantly stimulated (electrically) in rapid succession).
Twitch occurs when a single stimulus is delivered to the muscle: the muscle contracts and fully relaxes
tetanus refers to a sustained muscle contraction
Contraction and movement
o Sub-minimal stimulus
o Minimal Stimulus
o Maximal stimulus
o Supra- Maximal stimulus
• ISOMETRIC Increases the contraction without causing movement
• ISOTONIC Produces movement
• TONIC: Does not produce movement, increases firmness of muscles that maintain posture
• TWITCH: Quick, jerky contraction
• TETANIC (tetanus) Sustained contraction
