Gaussian Distribution and their Application : Muscle Fiber Distribution on Cross-Section Muscle Area

From a distribution of people’s heights in a group to error signal detection, the Gaussian Distribution provides various applications to predict the probability of a generalized distribution. Especially, the Gaussian Distribution is generally applicable to explain a biological or physiological phenomenon because it shows the most realistic distribution in biology and physiology. In the human muscle, there are hundreds of muscle fibers to compose each muscle part. Depending on the location of each muscle fiber, it generates a different action potential to compose of the Electromyogram (EMG). Because of this fact, the locations of different muscle fibers are important. It will be shown how the location of each muscle fiber, based on the Gaussian Distribution, affects the final calculated muscle fiber action potential in this paper.
