Q

True or False: Summation, observed as increased force of the second twitch with twin stimulation in skeletal muscle, results from the fact that intracellular Ca++ is maintained at an elevated level for a longer amount of time allowing cross-bridges to be active longer. Therefore, tension developed by the second twitch is applied to remaining tension developed by the first twitch.
