ON THE MEMBRANE PROPERTY OF FROG SARTORIUS MUSCLE IN POTASSIUM RICH MEDIUM

摘要

Experiments have been carried out in an attempt to determine the relationship between the membrane resting potential and potassium ions by increasing the K concentration or adding Ca. The results give some suggestion to the problem of electrolyte distribution in the muscle fibers. The physical phenomena taking place in the membrane such as membrane potential or flux may be the function of the membrane structure. The ionic distribution is probably not a cause for membrane phenomena but a result of the change in membrane structure.
