A. Simple twitch
methodology
B. Summation
Stimulate the muscle twice with no more than a half second in between
methodology
C. Staircase
Stimulate the muscle at least 5 times, while increasing duration and intensity
methodology

discussion
Simple Muscle Twitch Occurs from a single shock
discussion
Summation Occurs from a double shock
Presents as double waves, the second higher than the first Increased frequency-> stronger contraction
discussion
Summation Succesive shocks-> less time to relax There is a summation of contraction
discussion
Summation Rapid stimulus-> less time to remove Ca from sarcoplasm
Rapid & Successive stimulus -> Inc in Ca levels More Ca -> more cross bridges -> stronger contraction
discussion
Tre p p e o r S ta i rc a s e Occurs from a successive shocks Presents as a group of waves each higher than the last Longer and greater intensity-> greater contraction and less time for relaxation
discussion
Tr e p p e o r S t a i rc a s e Ca levels increase gradually with every shock There is not enough time to recapture Ca ions
discussion
Te t a n u s
Incomplete: Rapid Successive stimuli Presents as a group of waves in graph, similar to summation Reaches a plateau->prolonged contraction
discussion
Te t a n u s
discussion
Te t a n u s
Complete:
Rapid occurrence of Action Potentials No more time to reclaim Ca ions High Ca levels->prolongs the contraction
