How Does a Taser Work?
Tasers and stun guns seem like space age technology-they're really just guns that shoot electricity instead of bullets. The jolt is usually safe but there is a risk.
• how does a taser work • stun gun body electricity • electrical circuit signal impulse • nerve nervous system human • brain neuron action potential

Lou Gehrig's Disease
The development of Lou Gehrig's disease, a disease of the motor neurons, leads to progressive disability as neural control of the skeletal muscles of the body is lost.

How Do Nerves Activate Muscle
Motor nerves release acetylcholine to make skeletal muscle contract. Activation of acetylcholine receptors in muscle causes ionic flux that ends with muscle contraction.
