Anterior Byssal Retractor Muscle

The effect of ambient temperature on the response of the ABRM of Mytilus edulis to acetylcholine and 5-hydroxytryptamine has been examined. As the ambient temperature was increased, the latent period and the maximum tension developed decreased while the rate of tension development and the rate of relaxation increased. The relationship between temperature and the rate of tension development showed three distinct linear phases from 2–25, 25-35 and 35-45 degrees C. The reduction in peak tension with temperature could also be resolved into three portions from 2–25, 25-40 and above 40 degrees C. As the temperature was increased above approximately 27 degrees C the rate of relaxation in the absence of 5-HT approached the rate of relaxation in the presence of 5-HT. The significance of these results and possible explanations for them are considered.

Previous work has shown that ciliary movement in the gill plates of Mytilus edulis is controlled by acetylcholine. This substance was shown to be present in the gill plates together with the enzyme ‘ true ’ cholinesterase. The action of acetylcholine, eserine, atropine and d -tubocurarine was consistent with the view that naturally formed acetylcholine maintained the ciliary rhythm. The evidence of the presence of a choline-acetylase system was however weak, and a new investigation has therefore been made, in which tenfold higher values for choline acetylase have been obtained. The effect of temperature on this enzyme has been studied.
