Excerpt from Gaseous Exchanges in Isolated Muscle and the Perfection of an Apparatus for Studying Same: Thesis for the Degree of Master of Arts in Physiology in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois This research was undertaken primarily to determine the infin ence of the nervous system on oxidation in muscle, and to throw more light upon the mooted question whether trophic nerves exist apart from motor nerves. The plan proposed was to study the 002 yield from isolated muscles, directly comparing normal muscles with the homologous muscles of the same animal, which had been curarized to throw the motor nerves out of function. Furthermore, to make these comparisons upon both warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals. This involved the wider question of the true character of respiration in normal isolated muscle, and the means of accu rately following gaseous exchanges in them.
