The isolated chick biventer cervicis nerve-muscle preparation.
The isolated biventer cervicis nerve-muscle preparation can be used to distinguish between neuromuscular blocking agents which cause depolarization and those which do not. Both reduce the contractions caused by nerve stimulation, but depolarizing drugs also cause a contracture of the muscle.
