ABSTRACT

The junctional resistance of the gap junctions between the lateral giant axons of the crayfish has been measured in coupled and uncoupled conditions and the number of gap junction particles has been counted under the same conditions. From these two sets of data it can be concluded that the plaque-forming particles observed in freeze fracture replicas of the synaptic area are all gap junctional particles and that their channels are open. Based on this and published results from other isolated pairs of coupled cells, an inverse relationship has been found between the input resistance of the cells and the calculated number of open gap junctional channels between them. The relationship applies to both excitable and nonexcitable cells.

ABSTRACT

La resistencia de las electrotónicas (uniones comunicantes) formadas entre los axones laterales gigantes del cangrejo de río ha sido medicda en preparaciones acopladas y desacopladas. Por otra parte el número de partículas sinápticas se ha contado en ambas condiciones. De estos dos grupos de datos se puede concluir que las partículas, agrupadas en placas, que se observan mediante criofractura representan canales comunicantes y que estos están abiertos. Basándonos en estos datos y en resultados publicados obtenidos en pares aislados de células acopladas se ha encontrado que existe una relación inversa entre la resistencia de entrada de las células y el número estimado de canales comunicantes abiertos entre ellas. Esta relación se aplica tanto a células excitables como a las no excitables
