Predict Question:
Predict Question: As the stimulus voltage is increased from 1.0 volt up to 10 volts, what will happen to the amount of active
force generated with each stimulus?
You did not answer this question.

Stop & Think Questions:

What do you see in the active force display when the stimulus voltage is set to 0.0, and why does this observation make
sense?
You did not answer this question.
Correct answer: a. 0.00 g; there was no activation of skeletal muscle fibers by this stimulus.

What is the lowest stimulus voltage that induces active force in the skeletal muscle?
You did not answer this question.
Correct answer: b. threshold voltage
