Explanation:
Flaccid (biology definition): (1) (general) weak; soft; lax; lacking vigor; (2) (botany) of a plant cell in an isotonic solution such that the plasma membrane is not pressed tightly against the cell wall, and therefore, is neither swollen (turgid) nor plasmolyzed.

- Flaccid, also called "peripheral" or "atrophic", is characterized by the loss of voluntary movement and is accompanied by decreased muscle tone (muscles appear flabby and thinned, in the case of botulism infection). The flaccid paralysis can also affect individual muscles.
