RESUMO

1. The effects of Ca and Sr ions on synchronous acetyleholine (ACh) secretion (the impulsive, physiologically functional form of secretion which produces an end-plate potential in response to a single nerve impulse) and on asynchronous ACh secretion (the delayed, residual increase in miniature end-plate potential frequency evoked by repetitive nerve impulses or by accumulation of intracellular divalent cations) were studied at frog neuromuscular junctions.
