Fibers of a motor unit contract almost synchronously with electrical potentials flowing through the surrounding tissues in an unpredictable pattern.Electrodes detect those signals reaching the electrode at essentially the same time.What is this concept?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This concept is known as volume conduction, which refers to the ability of electrical signals to spread throughout the surrounding tissues and be detected at electrodes in an unpredictable pattern. Summation of response, motor unit volume, and fiber summation are not accurate descriptions of this phenomenon.
