Cardiac performance in response to loading pressures and perfusion with 5-hydroxytryptamine in the isolated heart of Busycon Canaliculatum (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia)

In this study the effects of a molluscan neurotransmitter, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), were examined on the isolated and pumping heart of the gastropod mollusc Busycon canaliculatum. Unlike in previous studies, the response was measured in such a way as to equate it with cardiac output. In addition,...
