| Abstract: | A motion-picture study of the capillary network of the interdigital membranes of frogs has been carried out in order to clarify a number of effects observed after individual parts of the body and the whole organism are placed in a constant magnetic field. A constant magnetic field is observed to have three principal effects on the blood flow. The intensified blood flow following exposure to the field is explained as a complex reflex response mechanism, in which a definite part is played by a change in blood particle potentials and by processes of aggregation with subsequent disaggregation.Paper presented at the First All-Union Conference on Engineering and Medical Biomechanics on the topic: Problems of Microcirculation and Mass Transfer, Riga, October, 1975.Riga Scientific-Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics.
