Is the force contraction of muscle fibre dependent on the strength of stimulus

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Muscle Contraction**: Muscle fibers contract in response to stimuli. The contraction can either occur or not occur based on the strength of the stimulus. 2. **All or None Rule**: Muscle fibers operate under the "all or none" principle. This means that a muscle fiber will either fully contract or not contract at all, depending on whether the stimulus meets a certain threshold. 3. **Threshold Stimulus**: The threshold stimulus is the minimum level of stimulus required to trigger a contraction in the muscle fiber. If the stimulus is below this threshold, the muscle fiber will not contract. ...
