Perfusion of the isolated heart of Periplaneta americana with caffeine, digitalin, acetylcholine, nicotine and lobeline shows that the pacemaker of this heart differs from the "myogenic center" of the vertebrate heart. The action of strychnine, morphine and apomorphine gives evidence of the existence of a neurogenic pacemaker. This pacemaker is stimulated by suitable concns. of acetylcholine, nicotine, lobeline and pilocarpine; it is inhibited by atropine, Acetylcholine and tetraethyl pyrophosphate show a syntergistic action. Atropine and tetraethyl pyrophosphate, like acetycholine and curare, show an antagonistic action. These results prove that the neurogenic pacemaker possesses cholinergic properties. Adrenaline stimulates and ergotamine inhibits the insect heart. This suggests the insect heart also has adrenergic properties. It is theorized that the heart mechanism of most arthropods consists of a neurogenic pacemaker with adrenergic properties, controlled by a cholinergic accelerating nerve. Rotenone counteracts the action of acetylcholine, tetraethyl pyrophosphate, nicotine, lobeline, pilocarpine and digitalin on the insect heart.
