SMOOTH MUSCLES. 603
difference in the proportion K : Na in the smooth and striated muscles.
According to Saiki 1
magnesium does not occur to a greater extent
than calcium in the smooth muscles of the stomach or the bladder of
pigs. The same investigator found 801-811 p. m. water and 199-189
p. m. solids in these muscles.
Henze found abundance of taurine in the muscles of Octopods, 5 p. m., but
no creatine, which, according to Fre.my and Valenciennes, 2
occurs in the muscles
of Cephalopods. He also found no glycogen and no paralactic acid, but, on the
contrary, small amounts of fermentation lactic acid. The muscles of Octopods
are richer in mineral bodies than the muscles of vertebrates, and are nearly twice
as rich in sulphur as these.
