A representation of the isotonic contractions of the ileum can be seen in Appendix‚ Figures 1 and 2. Figure 2 illustrates the response of the Guinea Pig ileum through isotonic contractions when a dose of ACh is added into the organ bath with a competitive antagonist. A relationship between response and bath concentration can be identified through the clear sigmoidal formation observed in Figure

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a competitive antagonist (atropine) on the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Methods: The isolated guinea pig ileum was suspended in an organ bath containing a physiological salt solution (Krebs Solution) in which the temperature was maintained at 37C and was continuously gassed with 5% carbon dioxide in oxygen.
