The development of an in vivo nerve-muscle model in the rat : and an experiment "The interaction between rocuronium and thiopentone" to test the validity of the model

Experimentation involving small animals has, over the years, been of major importance in the development of our current understanding of nerve - muscle physiology. This dissertation describes the development of an in vivo model of the rat nerve interface at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town. Such a model was not previously available to the faculty. The development was the result of collaboration between the Departments of Anaesthesia and Human Biology.
