The acetylcholine sensitivity of frog muscle fibres after complete or partial denervation

Open access
Miledi, R.·1960·The Journal of Physiology

Abstract

Structures deprived of their innervation become supersensitive to their normal chemical transmitter as well as to other substances (see Cannon & Rosenblueth, 1949). Nerve cells usually have a great number of fibres converging upon them and are 'innervated' at numerous points oftheir surface (Wyckoff & Young 1956). Skeletal muscle fibres may also be innervated at more than one point (Katz & Kuffler, 1941; Hunt & Kuffler, 1954), and slow muscle fibres may have many synapses distributed along their length (Couteaux, 1955). This morphological feature immediately prompts the question as to the effects of partial denervation of these tissues and how they compare with those which follow complete denervation.

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.
