Abstract

The rate of response of a tissue to the action of a drug can be studied in two way:

  1. (1)

    Measurement of some graded action. The following are simple examples of this type of response: the contracture of plain or of skeletal muscle; the inhibition of the mechanical response of cardiac muscle; the relaxation of plain muscle.

  2. (2)

    Measurement of the rate of incidence of some all-or-none effect. The following are important measurements of this type: death of micro-organisms; haemolysis of red blood corpuscles; paralysis or death or small organisms.
