Question
A pithed frog in which the brain and spinal cord are severed is technically dead but some of
its organs such as heart, continue to function for some time. An experiment was performed
on a pithed frog. After recording the normal heartbeats (normal cardiogram or sinus rhythm),
a ligature (ie. tying) is applied between the sinus venosus and right auricle. (Sinus venosus
is the pacemaker in amphibian heart). It is the first ligature (I ligature). After a while, a second
ligature is applied between auricles and ventricle (II ligature). The heart rates record is shown
below. What can we learn from this experiment about the rhythmicity of our cardiac
muscle? List THREE points.
