| Popis: | Intra- and extracellular action potentials of isolated frog muscle fibres were recorded at different distances to the end of the fibre. The first and second time derivatives of the intracellular action potentials were also recorded. The intracellular action potentials and their first and second time derivatives were almost the same regardless of the place of recording. With the decrease in the axial distance to the end the extracellular action potentials changed gradually in a complicated manner from a shape similar to the second time derivative into a shape similar to the first time derivative. Extracellular potentials, having two negative maxima, were recorded over the terminal taper part of the fibres. These alterations were simulated by a mathematical model. It was shown that the changes in the shape of the extracellular action potentials around the end of the fibres were mainly due to the existence of the fibre end though a better correspondence of the experimentally recorded and the calculated extracellular action potentials was obtained when the morphology of the fibre end was taken into consideration. |
