Summary
An original method of obtaining preparations of isolated aortic nerve fibres by anastomosing the phrenic and aortic nerves is described. Discharge of impulses from the isolated aortic nerve fibre consist of biopotentials of an alternating rhythm. At the beginning of the discharge the frequency of impulsation is high, later it falls down to zero. In case of persistent hypertension impulsations of succeeding bursts blend together forming an unbroken line, with increasing frequency in rhythm of every newly-appearing burst.
