Abstract:
Physiological variables for ventilation (scaphognathite frequency, branchial chamber pressure and branchial air flow) and for circulation (heart rate, intracardiac and pericardial haemolymph pressure) were measured in the land crab Cardisoma guanhumi (Latreille). Crabs were studied both in air alone and in air with access to a shallow layer of fresh, brackish or sea water. During complete air exposure, forward scaphognathite beating predominated and reversed scaphognathite beating was very infrequent. Periods of apnoea were rare.

1. Contraction of scaphognathite muscle L2B of the green crab Carcinus maenas is strongly dependent on stimulus number and frequency. Single, supramaximal stimuli evoke little or no tension. When stimulated with shocks in either short bursts (10 stimuli in 0.5s or less) or long bursts (5 s of stimulation), the isometric tension from the muscle increases with increasing stimulus frequency to a maximum at about 150 Hz at 15°C, beyond which tension declines with further increase in stimulus frequency. 2. There can be facilitation of both contraction and relaxation between short bursts of stimuli.
