The existence of this current may be demonstrated with- out using a galvanometer. If the nerve of a sensitive muscle-nerve preparation (a. Fig. 53) be allowed to fall on an excised muscle (b), so that two points of the nerve are in Fig. 53. contact with the cut end and with the surface of the second muscle (b), the muscle (a) will contract each time the nerve touches (b) so as to complete the circuit. Whatever be the explanation of this current of resting muscle, there is no doubt that a very definite electrical change occurs in a muscle when it contracts. To show this change, we may lead off two points, one on the cut end and one on the surface of the muscle of a muscle-
