Question

What is the period of time that elapses between the generation of an action potential and the start of muscle tension development in a muscle fiber?

Answer 1

The answer is the latent period.
The latent period is the period elapsing between the application of a stimulus and the obvious response, such as the contraction of a muscle. The contraction period, or contraction time, is the time it takes the muscle to reach its peak contraction after the latent period. The relaxation period is the time the muscle takes to return to resting tension after reaching its peak contraction.
