Example sentences for: posttetanic

How can you use “posttetanic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • There is no need to invoke a different explanation for posttetanic potentiation than for staircase.

  • Experiments conducted at 37°C have demonstrated that the magnitude of staircase potentiation is proportional to muscle length with a negative slope [ 6 7 8 9 ] . This is the case, whether the staircase is conducted at the different lengths, or the poststaircase twitch contractions are evaluated at different lengths after staircase at a given length [ 6 10 ] . Length-dependence of posttetanic potentiation has been evaluated in vitro at room temperature, and it has been reported that there is a length-dependence of potentiation, with the fractional enhancement of force being proportional to muscle length with a positive slope [ 11 ] .

  • In the case of the posttetanic contractions reported here, the enhancement apparently predominated at a short length, while depression was evident at long sarcomere length.

  • In studying posttetanic potentiation, the length tension relation for twitch contractions was obtained with sequential contractions at different lengths, both prior to and after a tetanic contraction at optimal length.

  • The observation that the magnitude of the posttetanic twitch response (P t */P t ) was proportional to length but with a negative slope is in direct contrast with a previous report [ 11 ] . However, this observation is consistent with data of Roszek et al.
