Propagation of excitation and action of strong hydrostatic compression Propagation of excitation and effect of high hydrostatic pressure on muscles. (II)

1) In some solutions in which muscles contract without propagation, they react more sensitively to hydrostatic pressure, less to electric stimulation. 2) The conductivity of excitation waves of "tonic" or "non-tonic" muscles of toad shows no difference practically. 3) By immersion of muscles into some solutions in which their contraction does not propagate, the excitability of muscle does increase at the part stimulated.
