Many motor units in a muscle are stimulated in quick succession. The most likely to happen is that the contractions will produce tetanus. 
A motor unit is made of a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron's axonal terminals.  A group of these motor neurons work together to coordinate the contraction of a single muscle. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory, which occurs throughout the length of the muscle, therefore, generating a force at the origin and insertion, causing the muscle to shorten and changing the angle of the joint.

Answer:

Tetanus Contraction

Explanation:

When the motor units in a muscle undergo rapid stimulation without any relaxation in between then the muscle fiber re-stimulate. Since the contractile activity remains with in the muscle fiber, the contractile force sum up.

In case if the stimulation is extremely rapid  then muscle do not get enough time to remove all calcium from the sarcoplasm and hence a strong contraction occurs which is some cases can be extremely serious thereby leading to occurrence of sustained contraction called tetanus occurs

How can we bring back lost nutrient   in   the soil without direct application   of   fertilizer?​
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Crop rotation

Rotation of crop is important to help conserve nutrients that are available in the soil and prevent total use up of the nutrients. The same type of plants all year round on the same soil keeps on draining the land of the same nutrients needed for their growth. Rotation of different can help maintain soil nutrients level as some crop fixes nutrients in the soil.

Natural mulching

The use of cover cops as mulch helps protect the soil and allows for retention of nutrients. When cover crops are harvested the leaves can be turned back into soil to release nutrients that are stored up in the plant part.

Composting is the process of decomposing organic matter this could include animal waste such as dung,leaves both green and dead, kitchen. This waste are stored up, little water is added to moist and then allow to decompose it can be mixed together after few days to aerate after. After decomposing to form compost it can be added to the soil. It is usually rich in nutrients.

Fittoniya [83]
<span>Cells responsible of making energy and performing respiration within the cell. Depending on what type of organism they are found at, they can be known as Mitochondria, if they are in animals; and if they are in plants, Chloroplasts.
Mitochondria create energy for the cell by breaking down sugars, fats, and other fuels consumed by the cell.
Chloroplasts, on the other hand, since they are found at plants, convert sunlight into energy.</span>
