The action of acetylcholine and adrenaline on single cell activity of the taenia coil has been described by Builbring (1955, 1957): Acetylcholine depolarizes the membrane, increases the spike frequency and prolongs the spike duration. Adrenaline slows or abolishes the spike discharge, reduces the duration of the action potential and causes a rise of membrane potential. These observations were confirmed and expanded by Burnstock (1958a, b) using the sucrose-gap method. He discussed the action of acetylcholine in relation to the movement of Na+ and K+ ions across the membrane and compared it with its action on the end-plate region of skeletal muscle. He also speculated that the increase of membrane potential produced by adrenaline might be due to the stimulation of an electrogenic sodium pump, and the inhibition of spike activity to an inhibition of the carrier mechanism for sodium or some other ion. Bulbring & Burnstock (1960), using the sucrose-gap method, investigated the conditions causing tachyphylaxis and potentiation of the effects of acetylcholine, histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine on the membrane activity of taenia coli. They interpreted these two phenomena in relation to the rates of active ion transport and utilization of metabolic energy. Axelsson, Bueding & Bulbring (1961) observed the effect of adrenaline using both biochemical and electrophysiological methods. They came to the conclusion that the hyperpolarization and stabilization of the membrane by adrenaline had a causal relationship to the increase of phosphorylase activity (see also Bulbring, 1960).* The effects of acetylcholine and adrenaline on single cell activity in taenia coli are similar to those described in uterine muscle (Marshall, 1959; Kuriyama, 1961) and to those of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve stimulation in rabbit colon (Gillespie, 1961 a, b). The work to be described here was undertaken to find out whether the
