    Muscle contractions tend to be smooth and vary in strengths‚ depending on the demands placed on them. The variations of strength are called graded muscle responses. There are two ways a muscle contraction can be graded‚ either by changing the frequency of stimulation or by changing the strength of the stimulation. When a muscle is responding to a change in stimulus frequency‚ the nervous system will reach a greater muscular force when increasing the firing of motor neurons. This causes a wave or

    filaments must slide past one another (Widmaier 2011). Muscle fibers are innervated by motor neurons. A motor unit is a single motor neuron and all muscle fibers it innervates. Contraction occurs through a mechanism called excitation-contraction coupling when an action potential propagates down a motor neuron axon to initiate contraction. As the action potential then travels down these transverse tubules it opens ion channels‚ which releases calcium into the sarcoplasm. When this calcium is released‚ binding
