Asynchronous muscles are muscles in which there is no one-to-one relationship between electrical stimulation and mechanical contraction. The majority of flying insects use asynchronous muscles to generate wingbeat frequencies faster than what most neuromuscular systems can sustain. Insects that use asynchronous muscles evolved from synchronous ancestors ~400 million years ago. Unlike synchronous muscles that contract once per neural signal, asynchronous muscles can be triggered through mechanical oscillations. The rate of mechanical contraction of asynchronous muscles can reach an order of magnitude faster than electrical signals. Although they achieve greater force output and higher efficiency at high frequencies, they have limited applications because of their dependence on mechanical stretch.
