Abstract

Interest in active transport processes of mammalian nerve cells stems from their high rate of oxygen consumption (Holmes 1930; Heller and Elliot 1955; Korey and Orchen 1959), the high vulnerability to oxygen lack (van Harreveld 1946; Brooks and Eccles 1947; Lloyd 1953; Gelfan and Tarlov 1955; Kolmodin and Skoglund 1959) and high activity of sodium- and potassium-stimulated adenosine-triphosphatase (Bonting, Simon and Hawkins 1961; Bonting, Caravaggio and Hawkins 1962). These data suggest a very rapid active transfer of ions across the nerve cell membrane which maintains the intracellular ionic concentrations.
