Physiological and Pharmacological Observations on Muscle Receptor Organs of the Crayfish, Cambarus Clarkii Girard

Abstract

The present paper aims to present a first approach to the study of some of the reactions of these units. Several aspects of the present work will be treated in more detail in subsequent research, but since these organs represent one of the more easily obtained single-unit sensory preparations, and since their exposed position allows their being bathed directly in solutions of known drug or ion concentration, it has seemed appropriate at the present time to follow our short preliminary note (Wiersma, Florey & Furshpan, 1952) by a more detailed description of technique and results.
