THE ABSORPTION OF AMMONIA BY THE LUNGS AND HEART

A. J. Klisiecki 1

1 The Department of Pharmacology, University College, London, and The Physiological Laboratory, Academy of Veterinary Medicine, Lwöw

Somatic ammonia, the daily production of which in the dog is estimated to be about 220 mg. NH3N, is absorbed by the lungs and heart, and probably converted finally into urea, the total production of which amounts to about 4000 mg. urea nitrogen per day.

In oxygen deficiency and in the later hours of an acute experiment the lungs and heart produce large amounts of ammonia, the rate of production being similar to that by the kidneys.
