| Abstract: | The development of fatigue during the transmission of excitation through the frog neuromuscular synapse was studied. The blocking of neuromuscular transmission during fatigue was shown to be based on a reduction in the quantum composition of the mediator. Liberation of the mediator is disturbed not by a decrease in the reserves of acetylcholine in motor nerve endings, but by a decrease in the probability of liberation of each quantum.S. V.
