The sensitiveness of denervated mammalian muscle to acetylcholine and other quaternary bases is associated with that type of action which these substances share with nicotine, and has apparently no relation to their parasympathetic effects. The tension which such substances evoke is not much inferior to the maximum tension which any kind of stimulus can produce in the denervated muscle.
