B) wave summation
C) recruitment
D) concentric contractions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recruitment is the process of activating more motor units to produce a greater force in a muscle. This is different from treppe, which is a phenomenon where the force of a muscle contraction increases as a result of repeated stimulation after a period of rest, and wave summation, which is a phenomenon where successive stimuli cause a muscle to continue contracting more forcefully. Concentric contractions refer to muscle contractions where the muscle shortens, but this is not directly related to recruitment.
