A stack of specialised muscle fibres found in electric eels, arranged in series. The fibres have lost the ability to contract, instead they generate extremely high voltages (ca 500 V) in response to nervous stimulation.

A stack of specialized muscle fibres found in electric eels, arranged in series. The fibres have lost the ability to contract; instead they generate extremely high voltages (ca 500 V) in response to nervous stimulation. They contain asymmetrically distributed sodium-potassium ATPases, acetylcholine receptors and sodium gates at extraordinarily high concentrations.
