Abstract
Heart rate was measured in four species of terrestrial slugs. The effects of temperature, body weight, activity, and cardiac denervation on heart rate were established. Using a servo-null-balance system, blood pressure recordings from auricle, ventricle, pericardial cavity, and haemocoel were studied using two species, Deroceras reticulatum and Limax pseudoflavus. Intracardiac pressures higher than those reported for other gastropods were recorded.
