🗑
The sliding of actin myofilaments past myosin myofilaments during contraction is called_______   Sliding Filament Mechanism  
🗑
A contraction of an entire muscle in response to a stimulus that caused the action potential in one or more muscle fibers.   Muscle Twitch  
🗑
A muscle fiber will not respond to stimulus until that stimulus reaches a level called______   Threshold  
🗑
