The role of acetylcholine in the functioning of the autonomic nerve trunks

  • Physiology
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

The most important indices of the functional condition of the autonomic nerve trunks, i.e., excitability, lability and refractivity, were investigated, in normal and in operated animals. Removal of a large part of the pancrness in cats brings about a fall in the level of lability and increased refractivity of the nerve trunks. Acenyklinline abolishes these disturbances.

It is suggested that acetylcholine plays a significant role as a factor promoting change of the functional condition of the nerve tissue, as well as in preparation of the best conditions for transmission of nerve impulses by way of the nerve trunk.
