Why does one twitch not cause the maximum force a muscle is capable of?

A. The short stimulus does not give the action potential time to get to the T tubules.
B. There is not enough time for the power stroke to be completed.
C. There is only a brief release of calcium, so not all the actomyosin crossbridges can be formed.

Final answer:

A single muscle twitch does not generate maximum muscle force due to factors such as insufficient time for calcium release and power stroke completion.


Explanation:

One twitch does not cause the maximum force a muscle is capable of because:

  • The short stimulus does not give the action potential time to get to the T tubules.
  • There is not enough time for the power stroke to be completed.
  • There is only a brief release of calcium, so not all the actomyosin crossbridges can be formed.
