Not illustrated. 1847 Excerpt: ... auricles contracted slightly; but irritation of the left ventricle without pressure had no effect on the rest of the organ. Pinching the right ventricle caused its contraction, followed by that of both auricles. Pinching the right coronary vessels and nerves in the right auriculo-ventricular groove, caused contraction first of the ventricle, and afterwards of both auricles. 152. All the vessels were cut through close to the base of the heart, and the organ removed. Slight irritation of the right ventricle caused slight contraction of the fibres irritated, but nothing more. Stronger irritation of the ventricle induced more extensive action of the right ventricle followed immediately by contraction of both auricles. After the lapse of five minutes from the time of removing the heart, irritation failed to induce any muscular contraction. 153. Six minutes after dividing the aorta, the whole of the abdominal viscera were removed. There could now be no spinal action. Irritation of any portion of the intestine occasioned local, and spreading muscular contraction; but no contraction of any distant portion of the alimentary canal. 154. Two feet in length of small intestine were separated from their mesentery, which was cut off close to its attachment to the bowel. This portion was loosely spread out on the table, being still connected with the rest of the intestines at each end. As soon as the contraction produced by the manipulation had quite subsided, a single point of the loose intestine was scratched with the scalpel. At the part irritated, strong contraction ensued, and spreading from this, a twisting and coiling movement of the intestine gradually extended in each direction until it implicated the bowel to which the mesentery was still adherent. Here the gang...
