The Investigation of Parasympathetic System mediated Uterine Smooth Muscle Contraction

This experiment investigates the influences of the parasympathetic nervous system on uterine contractions and the effect of muscarinic receptor in the uterus smooth muscle cells on parasympathetic response. This question was explored by testing the influence of different drugs (ACh, atropine and curare) on isolated rat (Mus musculus) uterus in muscle bath, the muscle contraction was recorded by the isotonic transducer.
