brief stimulus that produces a quick cycle of contraction and relaxation

twitch

3 phases of twitch

latent


contraction


relaxation

internal tension phase

latent period

external tension develops as muscle shortens


phase

contraction phase

loss of tension and length, calcium returns to SR


phase

relaxation phase

twitch has time to recover but develops more tension than before
