Question:
NO force is generated during which of the following?
A. the relaxation phase
B. the contraction phase
C. the latent period
D. a muscle twitch
Answer
C. the latent period
It is the muscle contraction produces active force. Passive force is generated from the muscle being stretched but the latent phase or period which is the first of the three phases in a muscle twitch, has no force generation
Explanation
Every muscle twitch has three phases namely; the latent period, the contraction phase and the relaxation phase. To be specific, the firt phase which is the latent period is the period of time that elapses between the generation of an action potential in a muscle cell and the start of muscle contraction in which there is no force that is generated
