Compatibility of eugenol anesthesia with classroom physiology experiments on nerve and muscle of frogs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: 43: 69-75, 2019), have shown that the primary anesthetic used in fish and other aquatic vertebrates, MS-222, blocks nerve and muscle function and thus interferes with classroom neuromuscular physiology demonstrations in frogs. In this study, we show that eugenol anesthesia is practical and effective for classroom experiments, and we characterize the effect of eugenol on neuromuscular physiology over different anesthetic durations.
