Nerve stimulation of muscle elicits a greater strength of contraction than direc

Question

Nerve stimulation of muscle elicits a greater strength of contraction than direct muscle stimulation because it A) recruits more motor units and activates more muscle fibers when threshold is reached B) lowers the threshold allowing for more action potentials C) increases the amount of thick and thin filaments in the skeletal muscle leading to increased cross-bridge cycling D) leads to a decrease in motor unit stimulation and stimulates each muscle fiber individually E) does not use t-tubules to propagate action potential leading to greater muscle contraction

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER IS recruits more motor units and activates more muscle fibers when threshold is reached.
