What is frequency dependent wave summation?

Frequency-dependent wave summation is dependent upon stimulation from the nervous system. Motor unit recruitment depends on the number of motor fibers available. Describe how increasing the stimulus frequency affected the force developed by the isolated whole skeletal muscle in this activity.

How does wave summation relate to stimulus frequency?

Explain how each is achieved in vivo. Wave summation releases more calcium and increases the force of contraction by increasing the firing rate of motor neurons using one muscle fiber. Increasing the stimulus frequency lead to an increase in active force generated by the whole skeletal muscle.

How does frequency of stimulation affect force of contraction?

Higher intensity and higher frequency induce stronger muscular contractions, but also a stronger decline in force and thus quick-setting muscle fatigue.

What is the relationship between stimulus frequency and muscle force?

The force–frequency relationship presents the amount of force a muscle can produce as a function of the frequency of activation. During repetitive muscular contractions, fatigue and potentiation may both impact the resultant contractile response.

How is frequency dependent wave summation dependent on stimulation?

Frequency-dependent wave summation is dependent upon stimulation by the nervous system. The motor recruitment tdepends upon the number of motor fibers available.

How are frequency-dependent wave summation and motor unit recruitment similar?

Compare and contrast frequency-dependent wave summation with motor unit recruitment (previously observed by increasing the stimulus voltage). How are they similar? How was each achieved in the experiment?

How does wave summation increase the force of contraction?

Wave summation releases more calcium and increases the force of contraction by increasing the firing rate of motor neurons using one muscle fiber.Recruitment use multiple motor units, in order to increase the force of contraction. There is no added calcium ions as in wave summation.

How does the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated?

The force of contraction got higher each time. With complete relaxation this would be Treppe. How did the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the isolated skeletal muscle when the frequency of stimulation was increased such that the muscle twitches did not fully relax btw subsequent stimuli?
