Part 10 (2/2)

A most excellent preservation of the record of the minor muscular movements is obtained by dipping the smoked paper on the kymograph drum in a solution of resin and alcohol. The lesser movements on the paper indicate the respiration rate, but every minor muscular movement, such as moving the arm or s.h.i.+fting the body in any way, is shown by a large deflection of the pointer out of the regular zone of vibration. These records of the minor muscular activity are of great importance in interpreting the results of the chemical and physical determinations.
