How does the threshold stimulus influence muscle contraction?
The threshold stimulus is the stimulus required to create an action potential. So any stimulus under this level will not cause muscle contraction, while a stimulus above this level will cause the muscle to contract. The higher the stimulus the more muscle fibers are recruited, and thus the higher the response.
What change in an organism's surroundings that will cause the organism to react is called a?
