WHAT DOES CHRONAXY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chronaxie

Chronaxie is the minimum time required for an electric current double the strength of the rheobase to stimulate a muscle or a neuron. Rheobase is the lowest intensity with indefinite pulse duration which just stimulated muscles or nerves. Chronaxie is dependent on the density of voltage-gated sodium channels in the cell, which affect that cell’s excitability. Chronaxie varies across different types of tissue: fast-twitch muscles have a lower chronaxie, slow-twitch muscles have a higher one. Chronaxie is the tissue-excitability parameter that permits choice of the optimum stimulus pulse duration for stimulation of any excitable tissue. Chronaxie is the Lapicque descriptor of the stimulus pulse duration for a current of twice rheobasic strength, which is the threshold current for an infinitely long-duration stimulus pulse. Lapicque showed that these two quantities define the strength-duration curve for current: I = b, where d is the pulse duration. However, there are two other electrical parameters used to describe a stimulus: energy and charge. The minimum energy occurs with a pulse duration equal to chronaxie.
