Abstract
INTRODUCTIONThe heart of tunicates is of physiological interest for several reasons: it is a simple peristaltic tube; it lacks valves; and the direction of the contractions changes periodically thus reversing the direction of blood flow. The phylogenetic importance of tunicates, being invertebrate chordates, also make physiological details of interest.
