Summary
-
1.
The responses of avian plain muscle in general resemble those of mammalian plain muscle.
-
2.
Eserine has little or no potentiating effect on the action of acetylcholine.
-
3.
In sodium deficient solutions, the gut elongates activity when stimulated with alternating current.
-
4.
In a muscle inexcitable to nervous stimulation, alternating current produces its usual effects.
