Agonists: Constructing Dose-Response Curves

Planning The Experiment

You are going to plan an experiment to find the response of the guinea pig ileum to the agonist acetylcholine.

You will simulate an experiment in which a piece of ileum is exposed to six different concentrations of acetylcholine which YOU will choose. As each concentration is added, you will see a trace showing how a real piece of ileum would respond.
