Primes¶
- Load Balancing
- Kidneys share filtration; the body rotates motor units within a muscle so that some fibers rest while others contract, delaying local fatigue and keeping any single fiber population below its failure point.
This sourceEstablishes the size principle of motor-unit recruitment, the physiological basis for distributing contractile load across motor units (rotating fresh units in as loaded ones fatigue) to keep any single fiber population below its failure point.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
