Abstract
Effects of acetylcholine, pilocarpine, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and nicotine on the isolated canine trachea, bronchus and bronchiole were investigated. In addition, Schultz-Dale test to Ascaris suum antigen on these airway smooth muscle preparations was attempted. Acetylcholine had a strong contractile effect on the trachea, bronchus and bronchiole, but large concentrations of histamine and nicotine were necessary to contract these preparations. Histamine seemed to produce a stronger constriction of the peripheral airways like bronchioles. Pilocarpine showed a selective and remarkable contraction of bronchus. Schultz-Dale phenomenon to Ascaris antigen was not demonstrated on the airway preparations.
