Abstract
THIS communication reports some investigations of transmission from excitatory nerves to the smooth muscle cells of the seminal vesicle of the rat. The seminal vesicles were dissected from adult rats and the preparation inserted between ring electrodes and bathed in a Hukovic solution1. The method used to stimulate the intramural nerves and the technique involved in recording with microelectrodes from the smooth muscle cells were the same as previously described2.
