Stannius' ligature
Also known as:
Stannius experiment
Associated persons:
Hermann Friedrich Stannius
Description:
A ligature between the sinus venosus and auricle of the frog’s heart. Stannius thereby demonstrated that the sinus is the pacemaker of the heart – yet the muscle tissues of the atria and the ventricles have a spontaneous and independent rhythm.
