A. Muscle Tone-

Determined by alternating motor units of a muscle organ even when the muscle is at rest

B. Wave summation

The situation in which contractions become stronger due to stimulation before complete relaxation occurs

C. Tetanus

Continued sustained smooth contraction due to rapid stimulation

D. Maximal stimulus

The stimulus above which no stronger contraction can be elicited, because all motor units are firing in the muscle

E. Multiple motor unit summation

How a smooth increase in muscle force is produced

Explanation:

Muscle tone:

Arises from weak and involuntary contractions of its motor units that causes some amount of tautness or tension in the muscle

Wave summation:

It can be called temporal summation. A different stimulus acts on a muscle before completion of the previous relaxation period causing stronger contraction.

Tetanus:

It occurs when rapid stimulation causes continued sustained smooth contraction. The motor nerve acting on a skeletal muscle releases large amount of action potentials

maximal stimulus

Produce the strongest muscle contractions by increasing the stimulation

Multiple motor unit summation

It controls the force of contraction using recruitmen

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
