Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 17BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reasons why there are variations in the muscle twitch strength even when there is constant stimulus intensity.
Introduction:
Myogram is a diagrammatic representation of the timing and strength of muscle contraction. When the electrical stimulus is very weak or below the threshold level, there is no reaction observed in the muscle. When the threshold is reached, an action potential is generated.

State three or more reasons why muscle twitch strengthcan vary even when stimulus intensity remains constant.
Explain how optimal skeletal muscle force (high muscle tension) can be achieved during a high intensity exercise. (Mention and explain how wave summation, motor recruitment summation, muscle length, and type of muscle fibers activated can affect muscle force).
Match the following types of contractions:
The stimulus above which no
stronger contraction can be
elicited, because all motor
units are firing in the muscle
Determined by alternating
motor units of a muscle organ
even when the muscle is at
rest
Continued sustained smooth
contraction due to rapid
stimulation
The situation in which
contractions become stronger
due to stimulation before
complete relaxation occurs
How a smooth increase in
muscle force is produced

- 2. We discussed how muscle spindles allow for precision of movement as a muscle lengthens, and particular muscles which require more precise movements will contain more spindles. In addition to this precision control over muscle length, there are other differences between muscles which enable more precision in how much force is generated.
