If a stimulus, several times greater than the threshold stimulus, is provided to a muscle fibre, it will

A

contract with a larger force

B

contract wit a smaller force

C

contract with the same force

D

undergo tetany.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
A muscle fibre would contract only when it receives a stimilation of certain intensity called threshol stimulus. Respones of a muscle fibre to a sitmulus is not proportionate will always contract with the maximum force irrespective of the strenght of the stimulus.
