They are fixed in place but are free to vibrate. When part of a solid absorbs heat energy the atoms vibrate faster and with bigger amplitude. These vibrations pass from atom to atom transferring ...

This process happens in all solids when heated but is a slow process. This process is very much faster than conduction caused by just passing vibrations from atom to atom. Hence, conduction in ...

The nerve conduction study was performed prior to sensitization (a) and at the peak of limb weakness (b) in the same animal. The sciatic nerve is stimulated at the ankle (upper trace) and at the ...
