Tissue Response: Muscle : Page 1

Two classes of electrodes are employed in muscles, intramuscular electrodes and epimysial electrodes. Both electrode types are in direct contact with the muscle but usually separated by muscle tissue from the innervating motor nerves.

Intramuscular Stimulating Electrodes.

Tissue Sections.
