The Guinea Pig Ilium Experiment

349 Words2 Pages

Experimental procedure (real life) Complete the ‘experimental setup’ for the guinea pig ilium experiment as shown in Fig 1. The agonist, acetylcholine is added to the organ bath at a concentration of 1 x 10⁻⁸ M where it will follow the 3 minute cycle. After 30 seconds the results are recorded. After results are recorded, washing of the organ bath and ilium is conducted (note. Called wash out). After 90 seconds a second washout occurs. At 180 seconds the length of the guinea pig ileum is reset to 2cm (note. The aforementioned steps are called the 3 minute cycle). Another dose of acetylcholine is added which follows the 3 minute cycle, however the concentration is increased by 1 x 10⁻⁸ M . This is repeated until the maximum response of acetylcholine

    Next, the test tubes were carefully cleaned with soap and water. Then five millilitres of sample “A” was placed in the test tube labeled “A”. This was then repeated with the next three samples. Then a few drops of each sample were placed on glucose/ketone paper. Each piece of glucose/ketone paper (with the sample on top) was compared to the label on the glucose paper bottle.

    The next few years, a few scientist has suggested substances that might be released, but experiments were difficult to plan out. Eventually, one day when he went to sleep he thought of an idea for the experiment and wrote it down on his notes, but the morning he could not understand what it was about. Then the following night he woke up with the same idea and rushed to the laboratory and performed the experiment. Later that day, one form of chemical transmission of the nerve impulses were proven. Lowie found that there was an impulse in the vagus that slows the heart.

    I feel that the rats were a very important part of O 'Brien 's plan. The rats were extremely nasty and would potentially destroy human flesh, which is death occurring from physical pain and abuse. Winston understands this and does not want to relate to the past so he gives up what is the last “insane” part about him. Also, I feel Winston wanted the pain to end so bad that he would be willing to become a true Party member so he could end the suffering.

    The stool begins as a liquid state and slowly forms a solid. The stool is then stored in the sigmoid. The stool is stored here until something called at “mass movement” occurs and empties the stool into the rectum, the mass movement happens about once or twice a day. The stool usually takes about 36 hours to travel through the large intestine. After leaving the large intestine the stool enters the rectum.

    Every morning I get up and wash my face with a face cleanser. Then I moisturize and begin to put on my makeup. My first thought is not, where this makeup came from, or how safe is it, and did anything suffer for it. Behind many makeup brands is the horror of how many animals suffer. Every year in the United States millions of animals are used as test subjects by science researchers.

    In the book Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, he uses a lot of animal imagery when talking about Lennie. The book is about two men who have traveled from Weed, California to a ranch in order to work. These men, George and Lennie, have a very interesting relationship, George, the more mature one, has to take care of Lennie and watch his every move so he will not get himself into trouble. Lennie is like a six year old boy in a grown man's body. Steinbeck does a great job of describing Lennie’s child and animal-like ways.

    Many debilitating diseases and conditions have been cured and prevented using vaccinations that were tested on animals. For example, Emil von Behring performed an experiment on guinea pigs that helped form the vaccine for diphtheria (Soft Schools). The significance of this experiment helped von Behring earn a Nobel Prize in Physiology (Soft Schools). Following von Behring’s findings, Edgar Adrian used frogs to confirm the specific way that the brain sends signals to different parts of the body (Soft Schools). Advancements in the understanding of diabetes, tuberculosis, and polio, along with the formation of anesthetics all were successful with the help of animal testing (Soft Schools).

    Animals in Research and Testing According to PETA, the animals who are in research and testing “shake and cower in fear whenever someone walks past their cages and their blood pressure spikes drastically. After enduring lives of pain, loneliness and terror, almost all of them will be killed,” (“Animal Testing 101”). Animal-testing is the use of non-human animals in research and development projects, especially for purposes of determining the safety of substances, such as foods, beauty products, and/or drugs. Although animal research plays a crucial role in experiments focused on disease treatments and preventions, it is cruel, inhumane, and should be stopped. This is an act that should be banned and prohibited in all states and countries

    Method: The organ bath file was opened and we examined tissue type and Agonist and Antagonists of different drugs which were available. Guinea pig ileum was selected as tissue type and Acetyl choline as agonists. Then different amount of acetylcholine were added to the organ bath which produced different results and finally, a log – dose response curve for acetyl- choline was constructed with the X axis corresponding to drug dose (Drug concentration) and the Y axis corresponding to response (gms).

    An organ bath experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of agonist, histamine on guinea pig ileum (GPI) and how the antagonists, mepyramine and SIPBSDrug A affect the GPI’s response (smooth muscle contractions). A GPI simulation was conducted to compare the potencies and nature of antagonists against histamine. The control Rmax and EC50 of histamine without antagonist were 16.49gms and 2.093 x 10-7M respectively. The concentration-response curves were shifted to right parallelly and EC50 increased while Rmax remained constant when mepyramine or SIPBSDrug A was added. Besides, both antagonists showed linear graphs in Schild plot, indicating that they acted as reversible competitive antagonists.
