Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sustained maximum muscle contraction is called tetanus. This occurs when the muscle fibers are being stimulated so rapidly that they do not have a chance to relax between stimuli. This results in a smooth and sustained contraction of the entire muscle. Graded potentials, Twitches, Z lines, and Action potentials are all related to muscle contraction but do not specifically refer to a sustained maximum contraction.
