16. The tangential velocity changes from positive to negative at the first excitability level and the normal velocity becomes zero at the second excitability level. The subexcitable regime can be further subdivided into two regions: a region at higher excitability, where waves with free ends either expand or contract depending on their size and the particular excitability, and a region at lower excitability. where all waves with tree ends contract and eventually disappear.
