Answer:
The correct answer is - wave summation.
Explanation:
Wave summation or temporal summation is a physiological process or phenomenon that takes place when the previous relaxation phase has not complete and another stimulus is applied to a muscle which leads to a stronger contraction to the muscle.
Such a condition occurs due to a smaller refractory period than the contraction and relaxation phases. As the previous contraction effects are stiil present in the muscle the next stimulus and contraction leads to a much stronger contraction than previous.
