| dc.description | Although the first scientific methods of studying gastri8
physiology were started towards the end of the last century,
principally by the Pavlov School of Physiologists, it is only
recently that major advances have been made. Of the many
diseases that affect the stomach and the duodenum, there is
considerable evidence associating peptic ulceration with variations
in gastric juice secretion, in particular, the volume and
concentration of the hydrochloric acid and pepsin components.
The wide variety and the rapidly changing forms of treatment of
peptic ulceration signifies our inadequate knowledge not only of
the aetiology of the condition, but also that of the normal control
of gastric juice secretion. The many recent excellent
general reviews on the subject of gastric secretion include:
Farrar and Bowerl, Gillespie2, and Myren and Semb3,
This thesis deals with a series of experiments carried out
on dogs, to assess the normal control of gastric acid secretion.
There are three main sections, viz:
1. ~cid Responses of Denervated Fundic
(Heide'nhain) Pouches to meals compared
with those to Histamine and Pentagastrin.
2. Vagal influence on antral gastrin release.
3. The contribution of the vagus nerves and
the stomach to acid response to a meal.
Each section of the thesis is complete with introduction,
