If a stimulus, several times greater than the threshold stimulus, is provided to a musclw 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.

Answer the following questions, which help you to understand the difference between Thomson's model and Rutherford's model better. a.
