    For the first time researchers have monitored the heart rate of a blue whale in the wild and found that their hearts can pump as slowly as 2 beats per minute! A fascinating insight into the #physiology of the worlds biggest animal! buff.ly/37H5qrE

    #OnThisDay Archibald Hill died. He was a British #physiologist for his elucidation of the production of heat and mechanical work in muscles. His research helped establish the origin of muscular force in the breakdown of carbohydrates with formation of lactic acid in the muscle.

    #OnThisDay in 1935 John Gibbon successfully maintained the cardiac & respiratory function of a cat using his invention - the 1st heart-lung machine. 18yrs later he successfully performed the 1st open-heart op, showing that an artificial device can temporarily mimic heart function

    #OnThisDay in 1944 Erwin Neher was born. He is a cell physiologist. In 1991, he shared a Nobel Prize for the development of the patch-clamp technique, a lab method to detect very small electrical currents produced by the passage of ions through cell membranes. Img src: Britannica
