(The contraction of a muscle, i^d the passage of a nervous impulse, ore accompanied by electrical changes. Whether cur- rents exist in uninjured muscle and nerve is a matter of con- troversy. All physiologists agree that they exist in muscle (and nerve) during functional activity. This electrical condi- tion Is termed the " negative variation " by those believing in currents of rest, and the " current of action ** by those holding opposite opinions. The current is of momentary duration, and is manifested during the latent period of muscle, in which also the chemical changes take place; so that a muscular contrac- tion must be regarded as the outcome of the events of the latent period, which is, therefore, though the shortest, the most important of the phases of a muscular contraction. (j>uring the passage of a constant (polarizing) cunent from a battery through a nerve, it undergoes a change in its irrita- bility and shows a variation in the electro-motive force of the ordinary nerve-current
