They are technically the same although a sustained contraction means that you may or may not have a disease that causes all of of your bones to spontaneously break producing a soft ocean sound from all of your phalanges. If this happens you may or may not die. If you suddenly start twitching, you may be in danger of getting a disorder from the xenonic acids in the marrow.

Skeletal muscle twitch differs from a tetanic contraction in that?
Skeletal muscle twitch is a single, brief contraction and relaxation cycle, whereas a tetanic contraction involves sustained, rapid repeated contractions without relaxation in between. Tetanic contractions occur when the muscle is stimulated at a high frequency, leading to a fused contraction.
What is a twitch contraction?
A twitch contraction is a single, brief contraction of a muscle fiber in response to a stimulus. It is the smallest unit of muscle contraction and is not strong enough to produce movement of a limb.
A muscle is stimulated and exhibits a contraction twitch Before this twitch is over it is stimulated again and a second twitch occurs piggyback on the first one and causes a higher contraction?
summation
What is a muscle twitch?
A muscle twitch is an involuntary contraction of a muscle group without conscious effort.
A maximal sustained muscle contraction is called a?
tetanic contraction.
What is the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscles?
Fast-twitch fibers can deliver a quick burst of power.Slow-twitch fibers can maintain a contraction for a longer time! -Apex :]
What type of contraction represented by a single stimulus and relaxation sequence?
Twitch
What is a sustained muscle contraction?
Occurs when acetylcholine (ACh) accumulates in the neuromuscular junction. It is called a tetanic contraction.
What is a rapid repetitive series of threshold stimuli leading to a single fused sustained contraction?
Sumation of contraction
An example of a partial but sustained contraction would be?
muscle tone
An example of a partial but sustained contraction would be what?
muscle tone
Single muscle contraction that lasts only a fraction of a second is called?
A: A Twitch
