Study Notes
Muscle Contractions
- Isotonic Contraction: Characterized by a change in muscle length while maintaining constant tension.
Muscle Twitch
- Latent Period Duration: The latent period in a simple muscle twitch typically lasts about 2 milliseconds.
- Total Time of a Simple Muscle Twitch: A simple muscle twitch lasts approximately 100 milliseconds.
Muscle Stimulation
- Nerve Stimulation: Involves electrical impulse transmission from nerves, leading to muscle contraction.
All-or-None Rule
- Applicability of the All-or-None Rule: This rule applies to muscle fibers, meaning that when a fiber is stimulated above a certain threshold, it contracts maximally or not at all.
