The influence of several ions on the membrane potential of the somatic muscle of Ascaris has been investigated by changing their concentration in the surrounding solution. When K is increased at the expense of Na leaving Cl constant, the membrane potential is first seen to increase. K higher than 45 mM reduces the membrane potential with a slope of 23 mv for a tenfold change in K. However, when K is increased keeping Na and Cl low and constant, the line relating the membrane potential with log K has a slope of almost 50 mv. If Cl is reduced in the absence of external Na, after the K is increased to 45 mM, the membrane potential decreases with a slope of 59 mv per tenfold change in Cl in close agreement with the Nernst equation. If Cl(-) is replaced by SO(4) (2-), a depolarization is produced, while chloride replacement by NO(3) (-), Br(-), and I(-) results in a hyperpolarization of the membrane. Removal of the external Na(+) ions increases the average membrane potential by 17 mv.
通过改变蛔虫体肌周围溶液中几种离子的浓度,研究了它们对蛔虫体肌膜电位的影响。当以降低Na为代价增加K,而使Cl保持恒定时,首先会观察到膜电位升高。当K高于45 mM时,K每变化10倍,膜电位以23 mV的斜率降低。然而,当在保持Na和Cl低且恒定的情况下增加K时,膜电位与log K的关系曲线斜率接近50 mV。如果在没有外部Na的情况下降低Cl,在将K增加到45 mM之后,膜电位随Cl每变化10倍以59 mV的斜率降低,这与能斯特方程高度吻合。如果用SO(4) (2-)取代Cl(-),会产生去极化,而用NO(3) (-)、Br(-)和I(-)取代氯离子会导致膜超极化。去除外部Na(+)离子会使平均膜电位增加17 mV。
