Includes bibliographical references (leaves 55-59). === 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.
