nerves of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). 



Physiological Zoology, vol. 12, No. 2, p. 



214-217. 



Sections of the claw and walking- 

 appendage nerves were studied for oxygen 

 consumption. Metabolic rate of the 

 walking-leg nerve was about 56 percent 

 greater than that of the claw nerve.
