Neuromuscular transmission in Peripatus.
The electrical and mechanical responses of body, leg and jaw muscle of Peripatus to electrical excitation of their motor-nerves were examined. A small twitch was obtained from each muscle, whose strength increased stepwise with increasing stimulus strength. In jaw and body muscles as many as ten increments in height were obtained with increasing stimulus strength. Only a single twitch height wa...
متن کاملExcitatory Amino Acid Transmission
This book represents the proceedings of a Satellite Symposium to the 30th Congress of the International Union of Physiological Sciences, held in Canada during July of 1986. It is the twenty-fourth volume of the neurology and neurobiology collection. The contents of the book are divided into seven sections, beginning with an overview of the field of excitatory amino acid transmission, and a disc...
متن کاملEffects of Buthus eupeus Venom on Neuromuscular Transmission on Striated Muscle In Vitro
In this study, effects of Buthus eupeus venom on chick biventer cervices nerve-muscle preparation were investigated by twitch tension method. The venom, at 1.3 ?g/ml, increased contractile responses in indirect stimulations. These effects were milder in direct muscle stimulations. It also caused significant enhancement in postjunctional sensitivity as assessed by responses to exogenous acetylch...
متن کاملPredominance of adenosine excitatory over inhibitory effects on transmission at the neuromuscular junction of infant rats.
Adenosine-induced modulation of neuromuscular transmission in young (3-4-week-old) rats was evaluated. Inhibition of adenosine kinase with iodotubercidin (ITU; 10 microM), which is known to induce adenosine release, enhanced the amplitude of evoked end-plate potentials (EPPs) recorded from innervated diaphragm muscle fibers. This facilitatory effect was transformed into an inhibitory one upon b...
متن کاملCurrent concepts in neuromuscular transmission.
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is structured and powered to transduce electrical activity from the distal nerve terminal of a motor neurone via the neuromuscular cleft to the post-junctional muscle membrane to ultimately generate muscle contraction. Our understanding of this complex function has expanded over many years, and the NMJ has served as a prototype for how different synapses operate...
