Summary

The circulatory efficiency of the snail's heart depends upon the cooperation of the heart s. str. and the pericardium. The circulation rate has been determined; it depends upon the pressure in the lung vein and in the aorta. Heart activity becomes most efficient (“optimal”) if the input pressure is about 11, the output pressure about 19 cm H2O (table). Increasing circulatory demand decreases the frequency of the heart.
