Question

If one nerve stimulus arrives at a muscle fiber so soon that the fiber does NOT relax at all from the previous twitch, the most likely result will be ________. This can only be achieved in the laboratory.

Answer 1

Answer:

Complete Tetanus

Explanation:

The nerve stimulus arrives at the fiber at such a rapid pace that there is no decrease in tension between stimuli detected. This results in a tectanic contraction that is fused (complete) . Thus the muscle fiber does not relax at all due to this complete tetanus.
