Introduction: Innervated muscles contract in response to electric because the current causes depolarization of their motor nerves. Denervated muscles will contract in response to long pulses of electricity, lasting for 10 ms or longer. These longer duration pulses depolarize the muscle cell membrane directly. Because denervated muscle membrane does not accommodate, a slow rising stimulus can be used to produce a muscle contraction in it.
