Wave summation releases more calcium and increases the force of contraction by increasing the firing rate of motor neurons (The second contraction takes place before the first is completely at rest) so each stimulation adds up. This is all within ONE MUSCLE FIBER.
Recruitment is the calling up multiple MOTOR UNITS, in order to increase the force of contraction. t has a size principle (those with small diameters, the more delicate ones are called first, then the larger and so on.) There is no added calcium ions as in wave summation.
They usually occur together.
wave summation can cause tetanus, while recruitment cannot.

The difference between a low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave is what?
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
What is the difference between swell and whitecap?
A swell is a wave or series of waves that are caused by surface gravity. However a whitecap wave is caused by the wind.
What is the difference between a loud and soft sound?
Sound is actually a vibration in the air which travels in the form of a wave. The larger the amplitude of the wave, the "louder" the sound. the smaller the amplitude of the wave, the "softer" the sound.
What is the difference between frequncy and amputide?
Frequency is rate at which something is happening whereas amplitude is the strength of a wave, if that wave is traversing a distance of 5 mts in 2 seconds its frequency is 2.5 Hertz. Hertz means per second
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is its?
Wavelength.
What wave summation results in stronger contractions at the same stimulus strength because the muscle doesn't have time to completely what between successive stimuli?
Relax
What is the difference between signal and wave?
wave is a part of a signal . millions of wave construct a signal .
What is the primary function of wave summation?
produce smooth, continuous muscle contraction
What is the difference between a sound and a sound wave?
you figure it out
What is the difference between two crests of a wave?
wavelength
What is S-P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
What is the difference in time between when a primary wave arrives and a secondary wave arrives?
5 seconds
What is S P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
The difference between a low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave is what?
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
When the frequency of stimulation of a muscle is great enough?
wave summation results and muscle twitches overlap.
