Q. If a stimulus, several times greater than the threshold stimulus, is provided to a muscle fibre, it will

Solution:

muscle fibre would contract only when it receives a stimulation of certain intensity called threshold stimulus. Response of a muscle fibre to a stimulus is not proportionate to its intensity. At or above the threshold value, a muscle fibre will always contract with the maximum force irrespective of the strength of the stimulus.
