Finkelman

Synopsis

A computer simulation of the Finkleman preparation. Uses text and graphics to describe the preparation and apparatus and to provide the background pharmacology. Rhythmic contractions derived from experimental data are presented on a chart-recorder-like display. The user can investigate a range of adrenergic drugs, the effects of electrically stimulating sympathetic nerves, and the effects of a range of drugs on the response sympathetic nerve stimulation. The drugs, drug combinations and electical simulation protocols have been selected to demonstrate the essential pharmacology of the preparation.
