Popis: The response functions for the unpolarized ([ital e],[ital e][prime][ital p]) and polarized ([ital [rvec e]],[ital e][prime][ital p]) reaction are calculated for medium-heavy nuclei under quasifree conditions. The formalism presented here incorporates both electron distortion effects and two-body currents related to meson-exchange and the [Delta](1232) excitation. The final-state interaction of the outgoing nucleon with the residual nucleus is handled in a self-consistent Hartree-Fock random phase approximation formalism. The effect of Coulomb distortion of the incoming and outgoing electron is included within a fully distorted wave calculation. The sensitivity of the results to the two-body currents is discussed for the five structure functions in quasielastic ([ital [rvec e]],[ital e][prime][ital p]) scattering off the target nuclei [sup 16]O and [sup 40]Ca. A selective sensitivity to the two-body currents is obtained in the longitudinal-transverse interference term [ital W][sub [ital L][ital T]] for which two-body currents can explain part of the discrepancy between the impulse-approximation calculations and the data.
