The paralyzed muscles are flaccid. The atrophy is demonstrableby palpation and change in the normal size and contour of themuscles. The electrical changes consist of diminishing response ofthe motor nerve trunks to farad ism and galvanism, and subsequentlyof increasing response of the muscular nerve filaments to galvanism,as well as of an alteration in the healthy polar formula. Duringthe first week or ten days an increasingly strong faradic and galvanic Fig. 124.
