Wave Summation

A phenomenon in muscle physiology where repeated stimulation of a muscle fiber leads to an increase in the strength of muscle contraction.

Latent Period

The time interval between the application of a stimulus and the response, common in muscle physiology and reaction time studies.

Excitation-Coupling

The process linking muscle fiber excitation to contractions via the transduction of electrical signals to mechanical actions.

Refractory

Resistant to treatment or control, often used to describe a period of unresponsiveness or insensitivity to stimuli.
