Summary
-
1.
The contribution of the crop to gastric acid secretion was investigated in unanaesthetized chickens with a gastric fistula.
-
2.
Basal secretion was enhanced by removal or distension of the crop and reduced by irrigating the crop with food suspension, acetylcholine, glycine or propyl alcohol as compared with phosphate buffer.
-
3.
It was concluded that the crop is able to release stimulating and inhibiting impulses towards the glandular stomach. The stimulating impulses were elicited by mechanical, the inhibiting ones by chemical excitation.
