Complete tetanus
A) is the time during which the tissue cannot respond again.
B) results in complete and incomplete tetanus.
C) is the condition in which the muscle fiber only partially relaxes between contractions.
D) is the condition in which stimuli occur so rapidly that there are no intervening relaxations.
E) is the constant tension produced by muscles for long periods of time.
Complete Tetanus
A state of sustained muscle contraction caused by rapid, repeated stimulation surpassing the relaxation phase between stimuli.
Muscle Fiber
An individual contractile cell within skeletal muscle, characterized by its long, cylindrical shape and multinucleated structure.
Contractions
The process of muscles tightening or shortening, which results in movement or force being applied.
- Absorb the essentials of the progression and distinctiveness of muscle contractions, notably twitch, tetanus, treppe, and tone.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Complete tetanus occurs when stimuli are given to a muscle in rapid succession, leading to a state where the muscle does not relax at all between stimuli. This results in a smooth, sustained contraction.
