Question

In a recording of a muscle twitch, the delay between the stimulus and the muscle response is called the

A) refractory period.
B) latent period.
C) contraction period
D) relaxation period.
E) both B and D

Answer 1

Latent period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle twitch may be defined as the damage of nerve that result in the contraction of a muscle fiber. The muscle twitch can be measured by the myogram.

The latent period in the muscle twitch is the period between the stimulus and the muscle response of the body. Generally, this period is the shortest period of the muscle contraction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
