The origin of the fasciculation of skeletal muscle produced by funnel-web spider venom (FSV) has been examined in mouse phrenic nerve hemi-diaphragm preparations, FSV from male spiders at concentrations greater than 10(-6) g/ ml invariably produced muscle fasciculation which could be prevented by d-tubocurarine (14micron), tetrodotoxin (0.3 micron) or by increasing the external magnesium concentration or calcium concentration.
