THE EFFECT OF SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION AND OF AUTONOMIC DRUGS ON THE PARALYTIC SUBMAXILLARY GLAND OF THE CAT

A. J. Fleming 1 and F. C. MacIntosh 1

1 The Department of Physiology, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

1. In cats, after section and degeneration of the chorda tympani, the submaxillary gland shows a greatly increased secretory response to sympathetic stimulation and to adrenaline.

2. This increased response is due to a true heightened irritability of the secretory cells for sympathetic stimulation.

3. Pilocarpine and acetylcholine act more strongly on the normal than on the paralytic gland.

We are much indebted to Dr. B. P. Babkin for his helpful advice and criticism during the course of this work.
