He then caused the fore part of the animal to struggle, and observed no change in the heart rate. After causing the hind part of the animal to struggle, however, he noticed a slow increase in the heart rate. Since the only connection left between the heart and the lower part of the animal was the blood stream, he deduced that something in the blood was affecting the heart. Accordingly, he interrupted...
...Since the only tissue known to be affected by sympathetic stimulation in this region is smooth muscle," Dr. Cannon explained, "and since the only connection between the hind part of the animal is the blood stream, and since interfering with the stream in the region where smooth muscle is stimulated either markedly depresses or abolishes the response, the inferences are drawn that a substance is given off from smooth muscle into the blood, that it is carried effectively by the blood to distant organs, and that it influences those organs in a favorable manner, i.e., as sympathetic impulses would influence...
