Abstract

Initial value laws were demonstrated as being valid for spontaneous rhythmic contractions, and evoked responses (contraction and relaxation) of Anodonta adductor muscle. The following group of phenomena has been observed and analyzed 1. quasi-linear relationship between responses and initial values, 2. homeostatic after-oscillations, 3. adaptive behavior of evoked contractions and that of after-oscillations. The idea of basimetry seems to be useful in explaining some of the phenomena observed, however it does not provide a complete explanation. Conclusions may be drawn about the roles of innervation, the muscle itself and the ligament, in the bahavior of the adductors.
