| qualitative alteration | In electric irritability, a change in which the muscle contracts as readily on application of the anode as on that of the cathode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quantitative alteration | In electric irritability, a gradual loss of contractility in a muscle in response to static, faradic, and galvanic currents successively. (05 Mar 2000) |
