Description
Excerpt from Torreya, Vol. 9: A Monthly Journal of Botanical Notes and News
The effect of stimulus impinging on a responding tissue is to induce a fundamental molecular derangement. This condition of derangement constitutes excitation. On the cessation of stimulus, there is a Slow recovery, the tissue returning to its original condition. This molecular reaction is itself beyond our scrutiny, but it may be shown that we can gauge its intensity and extent by the observation and record of certain concomitant changes induced by it in the responding tissue. Amongst these are (1) changes of form, manifested as mechanical response, and (2) changes of electrical condition, which may be recorded as electrical response.
