The stretch of elastic components of a muscle adds to the increased tension during
A) incomplete tetanus.
B) twitch.
C) multiple wave summation.
D) all-or-none response.
E) None of the choices are correct.
Elastic Components
Refers to parts of structures (such as in the lungs and arteries) that can stretch and recoil, contributing to their functionality.
Increased Tension
A situation where there is a rise in pressure or stress within a structure or system, such as in muscles or blood vessels.
Incomplete Tetanus
A muscular contraction characterized by rapid cycles of contraction with partial relaxation in between, due to stimuli occurring at a high frequency.
- Understand different types of muscle contractions (isotonic, isometric, concentric, eccentric) and their characteristics.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Multiple wave summation involves the increase in muscle tension that occurs with an increase in the frequency of stimulation. This process allows for the stretch of elastic components, contributing to the overall tension as the muscle does not fully relax between stimuli.
