Summary
A study was made of the effects of cooling upon the response of the isolated uterus of the rabbit to acetylcholine, histamine, Pituitrin, and barium chloride. Since the responses of the tissues to the last spasmogenic agent were characterized by marked tachyphylaxis and an earlier loss than were the responses to the first two, it has been suggested that the focus of the barium ion’s action is relatively far removed from the final contractile response. It may lead to an alteration in the local concentration of some other cation such as potassium.
