Riassunto

Excerpt from Monthly Abstract of Medical Science, Vol. 2

If a limb, with its muscles and nerves, be separated from the body, and fixed in a certain way, it will take a position of equilibrium dependent on the mode of fixation, and the weight and elasticity of the tissues. It will move out of this position, if the common nerve-stem be stimulated at some part. Of its course, and so the muscles be put in action. The new position Of equilibrium will then depend on the action and counteraction of Opposed muscles.

It has generally been supposed that the change of position of the limb in such experiments is in the direction of the Opposing muscles, which exceed the others in mass. If this were the case, then stimuli Of different strength ap plied to the nerve-stem should be followed by motion of the limb in the same direction; the amplitude only of the motion varying with the strength of the stimulus.
