🗑
mastication   chewing  
🗑
muscle twitch   is a contraction of an entire muscle in response stimulus that causes the action potential in one or more muscle fibers.  
🗑
the muscle fibers will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called _________.   threshold  
🗑
the threshold phonomenon is called   all-or-none response.
