Presence of lines on our tissue

occurs when each of the two stimuli are capable of causing a muscle to contract, then follow each other in rapid succession. The second twitch is greater than the first.

The major cells of skeletal muscle tissue

When the muscle fiber is relaxed, the sarcolemma has a positive (+) charge outside and a negative (-) charge inside.

This process is started by a nerve impulse.

It is caused by continuous stimuli. There is only a little time for relaxation. It is a sustained contraction due to fusion of many twitches.

the response of a muscle to a single brief threshold stimulus. The muscle contracts quickly and relaxes.

ability to be stretched when relaxed

ability to receive and respond to stimulus

t occurs when a series of stimuli are applied. The contractions obtained have shown increasing strengths of twitches.
