This excitation is propagated within the nerve and is accompanied by an electrical wave, the action current. It was generally believed that.

In the vertebrates, graded response of skeletal muscle depends on the multiplicity of motor units. As Gaskell (1920) pointed out, in other animals.

THE NERVOUS system is principal. ly concerned with sending some sort of excitatory message-through its own circuit and along the nerves connect·.
