Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incomplete tetanus occurs when the muscle is stimulated at a rate where it can partially relax before the next stimulus, resulting in a series of twitches with increasing tension. In contrast, complete tetanus occurs when the muscle is stimulated at a rate where it cannot relax at all between stimuli, resulting in sustained contraction. Treppe refers to the phenomenon where a muscle exhibits increasing tension with each successive stimulus, while wave summation and recruitment both refer to processes that increase the overall force generated by a muscle, but do not specifically describe a pattern of tension peaking and falling at intermediate stimulus rates.
