1. The blood-bathed organ technique was employed to study the effects of angiotensin II and catecholamines on an isolated everted rat aorta bathed in the extracorporeal circulating blood of adult dogs and cats. 2. When the injections were made into the bathing blood close to the everted rat aorta, angiotensin II was half as potent as adrenaline or noradrenaline on a molar basis. 3. After intrav...

The hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries are considered as the ‘‘main classic branches’’ of the celiac trunk (CT). In the embryonic life, yolk sac is supplied by vitelline arteries. Later they gradually fuse and help in formation of the arteries dorsal to the mesentery of the gut. In the adult, they are developed as CT, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric arteries. These vessels s...

This paper introduces a new kind of local consistency based on the general idea of singleton arc consistency (SAC). This is a reduced form of SAC that only considers neighbourhoods of a variable with a singleton domain; hence, the name “neighbourhood SAC” (NSAC). Like AC and SAC, NSAC has a unique fixpoint, so that NSAC algorithms will produce the same result when applied to a problem regardles...

Hogben et al. (1959) have proposed the existence of a region at pH 5 on the surface of the intestine when the bathing medium has neutral pH, to explain discrepancies in transfer rates of weak electrolytes as predicted by the theory of non-ionic diffusion. The present experiments demonstrate for the first time the existence of such a layer by direct physical means. pH-sensitive microelectrodes w...

The predatory behavior of a carnivorous marine copepod, Euchaeta norvegica Boeck, feeding on eggs and larvae of the North Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. was examined. In the laboratory, adult females of Euchaeta norvegica did not feed on eggs. Predation rates on yolk-sac larvae and starved post-yolk-sac larvae did not vary significantly with age up to 14 days old because of little change in size ...
