To discuss: The observations made by Furchgott while testing the effect of acetylcholine (Ach) on different treatments of rabbit aorta.
Introduction: Aorta is the largest artery that collects blood from the left ventricle and passes it on to the systemic arteries that emerge from the aorta to transport the blood from the heart to the other parts of the body. The walls of the aorta are thick to handle the pressure of the blood when it is pumped out of the ventricle. In the aorta, the cells present around the blood vessels produce
To explain: The results of Furchgott experiment on the testing of the effect of acetylcholine (Ach) on rabbit aorta.
Introduction: The contraction and the relaxation property of the vesicles is important in the transportation of the blood to different parts of the body depending on the need of the body tissues. The contraction and relaxation property of the arteries is also responsible for preventing the damage to the arteries due to excessive pressure on the arterial walls.
