The chronaxie values for mammalian ventricles at body temperature range from 0.5 ms (human) to 2.0 to 4.1 ms (dog); this is an 8.2/1 ratio. It has been reported that large-diameter myelinated axons have chronaxie times ranging from 50 to 100 μs and 30 to 200 μs, and neuronal cell bodies and dendrites have chronaxie times ranging from 1 to 10 ...
