Summary and Conclusions
-
1.
The effect of various substances on the contractile mechanism of frog’s sartorius and rectus has been studied by using the dying muscle.
-
2.
It has been found that the effect of various substances on the frog’s striated muscle resembles that onMytilus unstriated muscle and not that on frog’s unstriated muscle.
-
3.
The common feature of frog’s striated muscle andMytilus muscle is, that active relaxation is absent in these muscles.
