Man s Nerve System Found
To Work Like Radio

Even the glands follow this
law. DR.. Allen excited the
parotid or salivary gland in the
mouth with applications of
ascetic acid. To this stimulus,
the glands response was the flow
of saliva.
Flow Changes Rapidly
AS the acid application was
made at three minute intervals,
the quantity of saliva that flowed
changed rapidly. That is, the
nervous currents controlling
gland action oScillated.
There was sudden flow, then
complete StOppage. But. a rest
period of 20 minutes resulted in
a marked increase of saliva. The
Commute period showed a longer
wave of increase and decrease,
above the shorter waves within
three. minute periods.
