Post by: barry on Feb 15, 2014
A skeletal muscle twitch differs from a tetanic contraction in that:
A) the tetanic contraction is considered abnormal, while the twitch is a normal muscle response
B) the tetanic contraction is caused by a single stimulus, while the twitch is caused by very rapid multiple stimuli
C) the muscle twitch is prolonged and continuous while a tetanic contraction is brief and "jerky"
D) the muscle twitch occurs only in small muscles while a tetanic contraction occurs in large muscle groups
E) the muscle twitch is a brief and "jerky" movement, while the tetanic contraction is prolonged and continuous
