Question
In an experiment, two hearts, heart 1 and heart 2, from frogs were removed and perfused with
warm Ringer solution in both beakers 1 and 2. The vagus nerve of heart 1 was activated
electrically (Figure 3).
1. Stimulate
Vagus
(i)
Frog Heart 1
2.Remove
fluid sample
from beaker 1
Frog Heart 2
3. Add fluid to
recipient heart 2 in beaker 2.
Figure 3
The strength and number of beats of heart 1 before and after vagus nerve stimulation was
recorded. What changes would you expect to observe?
(ii)
A sample of the Ringer solution was removed from beaker I and transferred to beaker 2.
How would this affect the strength and number of beats of heart 2?
(iii) The substance in the Ringer solution of beaker 1 was given a name 'vagusstoff' by Otto
Loewi. What is ‘vagussoff"?
