The Nature of the Frog Skin Potential
Abstract
Summary.: 1. The outside of the isolated frog skin in the absence of penetrating anions behaves over a wide range of concentrations as a sodium electrode, while the inward‐facing surface behaves like a potassium electrode. 2. A theory concerning the origin of the frog skin potential is put forward based on these observations and the assumption that the active transport of sodium is located at the inward‐facing membrane of the epithelial cells. 3. Reasons are given for the hypothesis that the active transport of sodium in reality is a forced exchange of sodium against potassium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
