Afferent impulses coming from the Pacinian corpuscles in response to mesenteric arterial pulsation were observed at the peripheral cut end of the cat's mesenteric nerves. The correlation between blood pressure and impulse frequency was not always fixed. There seemed to be differences in the behavior of the corpuscles. In some of them, the impulse frequency was increased by a rise in blood pressure, whereas in others it was depressed by blood pressure elevation. The result was explained from the observation that the mesenteric arteries were dislocated in such a way with their increased constriction that they drew toward or withdrew from the Pacinian corpuscles. Possible reflex for controlling abdominal functions was discussed with relation to vascular change.
