At different levels of stimulation the motor neurons stimulate a motor unit and the more stimulation the more motor units become active. When the voltage was set at 0 or .1 there was no reaction because the shock wasn’t able to trigger the threshold for action potential production. The lowest reaction with shock was .3 volts created by a contraction of a low number of the fibers in the muscle. When you increased the
