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

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.
In the second group of fibers, each fiber bundle was used to assess either staircase (10 Hz for 10 s) or posttetanic response (75 Hz for 1.5 s).
In this study, the length-dependence of staircase and posttetanic twitch contraction amplitude was evaluated in skeletal muscle in vitro , at room temperature with measurement of sarcomere length.
The results indicate that there is a length-dependence of force modulation in the twitch contraction for both staircase and posttetanic response, and that in both cases the twitch potentiation is proportional to sarcomere length with a negative slope.
To assess the length-dependence of posttetanic response, twitch contractions at 10 s intervals were obtained at a variety of sarcomere lengths both prior to (P t ) and following (P t *) a tetanic contraction which was elicited at optimal length (the length which gave the strongest tetanic contraction).
