A SINGLE MUSCLE TWITCH • When a muscle is stimulated, it contracts after a latent period and this is immediately followed by relaxation, this is called single muscle twitch. 1.latent period 2.contraction period 3.relaxation period 1 2 3 Start stimulating

TETANIC CONTRACTION When a muscle is stimulated at very highfrequency(100/s), the successivecontractions completely fuse together andcannot be distinguished one from the otherThis state of sustained contraction is calledTetanization
