## Abstract In cats anesthetized with α‐chloralose, different populations of motor units in soleus, plantaris, and medial gastrocnemius muscles were stimulated in rotation through surgically divided groups of ventral roots. As a result, smooth muscular contractions were obtained at low frequencies

Abstract
Explant cultures were prepared from the slow anterior latissimus dorsi muscle and the fast posterior latissimus dorsi muscle of 15 day chick embryos. The morphology and growth pattern of myotubes from the two types of muscle were very similar. Intracellular microelectrode studies did not reveal consistent differences between the myotube types in regard to resting potential, input resistance, input time constant, or ability to produce active electrogenic responses. It is suggested that specific differentiation of the two muscles is determined by their innervation.

## Abstract The contractile speed of striated muscle is correlated with myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. In crustaceans, ATPase activity in fast muscle is about four‐fold greater than that in slow muscle. Slow and fast myosins were purified from the crusher claw closer and the dee
Both aliphatic and aromatic surface hydrophobicities of myosins from fast-twitch psoas major and slow-twitch semimembranosus proprius muscles were investigated using fluorescence probes (cis-parinaric acid and 8-analino-l-naphthalene sulphonic acid). Surface hydrophobicity of unheated slow myosin wa
