Abstract
USING three different methods of stimulating stomach secretions, Prof. B. P. Babkin infers that digestive glands are composed of various sets of cells, connected to separate nerves, so that different types of secretions are possible. Slight stimulation of the vagus nerve causes scanty flow of mucous fluid; stronger current provokes copious flow of gastric juice and digestive enzymes similar to those produced by the sham-feeding of a test-meal; the drug histamine stimulates gastric juice secretion but not enzyme production.
