    An interactive, menu-driven and easy to use program which simulates a number of experiments which can be performed on the 'in situ' heart of a pithed frog. High-resolution simulations of contractions of the frog heart, derived from real data, are presented on a scrolling display to simulate a chart recorder. The trace may be paused to facilitate measurement of heart rate or to assess changes in the amplitude of atrial or ventricular contraction.

    Experiments include:

    • Interpretation of a typical trace;
    • the effects of adrenaline;
    • the effects of acetylcholine (with physostigmine or atropine);
    • the effects of temperature;
    • refractory period;
    • electrical conduction through the heart (Stannius ligatures).


    Each experiment is prefaced by introductory text and includes an experiment guide and assignments.
