Why do individual muscle twitches have to be added together, as in summation or tetanus? Not enough ATP is generated by one muscle twitch. There has to be a critical mass of muscle twitches for calcium to be released into the muscle cell.

Only added twitches produce any muscle contraction: A fiber undergoing a muscle twitch does not contract at all.
