(2) A motor neuron in the ventral horn of the spinal cord is activated, and an action potential passes outward in a ventral root of the spinal cord. (3) The axon branches to supply a number of muscle fibers called a motor unit, and the action potential is conveyed to a motor end plate on each muscle fiber.
The average male height varies from country to country. The estimated average height for the human male across the world is approximately 5ft 8 1/2in (1.73 m.) According to John Komlos of the University of Munich, North Americans were the tallest people on the planet from about the American Revolution to World War II.
Standard Deviation is normally written as Ï The standard deviation for American men's height is about 3. Knowing that, we can figure out what the rest of the population looks like too. Each time height increases by 3, by a standard deviation, the population drops off considerably. There are just about exactly 100,000,000 adult men in America. Now that we know their average height is 5'9 and the standard deviation is 3, we can predict how many of these men fall into various height categories.
