Abstract
The stretch receptor organ of crustaceans allows us to work with a whole, intact and isolated neuron which can be kept in apparently normal functional condition for several hours and in which impulse activity as well as oxygen uptake (Giacobini 1963 and 1965 a), enzymatic activity, substrates and ion concentrations (Giacobini 1965 a, Giacobini and Grasso 1966, Giacobini -and Marchisio 1966a, Giacobini and Kar1sson 1965, Giacobini 1965 b) can be studied 1. The increase in oxygen uptake which follows impulse activity is a function of the impulse frequency and is not dependent on the external K+ and Ca++ concentrations (Giacobini 1965a, Giacobini et al. 1965).
