- CHAPTER XIII 



INORGANIC RESPONSE MOLECULAR MOBILITY I 

 ITS INFLUENCE ON RESPONSE 



Effects of molecular inertia Prolongation of period of recovery by 

 overstrain Molecular model Reduction of molecular sluggish- 

 ness attended by quickened recovery and heightened response 

 Effect of temperature Modification of latent period and period of 

 recovery by the action of chemical reagents Diphasic variation . 104 



CHAPTER XIV 



INORGANIC RESPONSE FATIGUE, STAIRCASE, AND 

 MODIFIED RESPONSE 



Fatigue in metals Fatigue under continuous stimulation Staircase 

 effect Reversed responses due to molecular modification in nerve 

 and in metal, and their transformation into normal after continuous 

 stimulation Increased response after continuous stimulation . 118 



CHAPTER XV 



INORGANIC RESPONSE RELATION BETWEEN STIMULUS 

 AND RESPONSE SUPERPOSITION OF STIMULI 



Relation between stimulus and response Magnetic analogue In- 

 crease of response with increasing stimulus Threshold of response 

 Superposition of stimuli Hysteresis 131
