This will all take place in a water bath which represents the small intestine and will be maintained at 37°C and will be provided with compressed air to recreate the environment. The agonist ACH is added to the water bath. The ileum will be then be stimulated by an electrical current which will make the ACH contract. Thus, recreating contractions of small intestines. Recordings will be taken over a 3 minute period, the solutions will also be washed out every 30 seconds…
