What is the different between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus?
The difference between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus is that an external stimulus is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism. But an internal stumulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism. An example for an external stimulus can be that when you are cold, you put on a jacket. An example for an internal stimulus is that when you feel hungry, you eat food.
In positive feedback the initial stimulus produces a response that the stimulus?
exagerrates the stimulus
What is a change in an organism's surrounding that causes the organism to react?
The answer to this would mose probabaly be a stimulus. Because there are 2 types of stimuli Internal Stimulus and External Stimulus and so it has to be either one of these but the answer is stimulus.
Is the sudden drop in air temperature a stimulus or response?
The sudden drop in air temperature is a stimulus.
Which type of stimulus is an allergen such as pollen?
External Stimulus
What is the definition of maximal stimulus?
The maximal stimulus is the strongest stimulus that produces increased muscle contractile force.
What has happened in the muscle when the maximal stimulus is achieved?
Each of the individual muscle fibers in the muscle are contracted when the maximal stimulus is achieved. Dr. H.
What is this tetanus stimulus frequency called?
Maximal Tetanus Tension
What is the definition of a submaximal stimulus?
Submaximal Stimulus results in complete contraction of some fibers. It causes contraction more than subminimal stimulus and less than maximal stimulus.
The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by?
Increasing stimulation up to the maximal stimulus
Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase?
Yes. ....Up to a point. There is a threshold the stimulus must surpass before creating a CAP (compound action potential). Anything below this threshold is called subthreshold. Once the stimulus is strong enough cause a CAP it is a stimulus threshold. At this point the CAP will continue to increase as the intensity of the stimulus increases (now termed suprathreshold) until a maximal stimulus causes a maximum response. Any stimulus stronger than the maximal stimulus is called a supramaximal and does not result in any larger a CAP than the maximum response caused by the maximal stimulus. source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann12.html
The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by what?
The strongest muscle contractions are normally achieved by increasing the stimulation up to the maximal stimulus. There are various classifications of contractions, including eccentric and concentric.
What is maximal speed?
Maximal strength is when your stamina improves in your muscle's.
What does the medical abbreviation PMI mean?
Point Of Maximal ImpulsePoint of Maximum impulse or Point of Maximum Intensitypoint of maximal intensitypoint of maximal impulse
Why is there a maximal voltage for muscles?
All of the muscles in the muscle fiber have contracted when there is a maximal voltage and there is a maximal voltage to prevent injury to our muscles. Dr. Sayed
What is opposite of maximal?
Minimum
Signal to which an organism responds?
