This discovery opened a new era in the development of physiology, for until then the principal method used had been that of «acute» vivisection, and the function of an organism had only been arrived at by a process of analysis. It was here that he developed the surgical method of the «chronic» experiment with extensive use of fistulas, which enabled the functions of various organs to be observed continuously under relatively normal conditions.
It was at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in the years 1891-1900 that Pavlov did the bulk of his research on the physiology of digestion. In 1890 Pavlov was appointed Professor of Pharmacology at the Military Medical Academy and five years later he was appointed to the then vacant Chair of Physiology, which he held till 1925. Under his direction, which continued over a period of 45 years to the end of his life, this Institute became one of the most important centres of physiological research. In 1890 Pavlov was invited to organize and direct the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine. In this as well as in other works, resulting mainly from his research in the laboratory at the Botkin clinic, Pavlov showed that there existed a basic pattern in the reflex regulation of the activity of the circulatory organs. In this work he developed his idea of nervism, using as example the intensifying nerve of the heart which he had discovered, and furthermore laid down the basic principles on the trophic function of the nervous system. In 1883 he presented his doctor’s thesis on the subject of «The centrifugal nerves of the heart». Botkin, enabled him to continue his research work. After a competitive examination, Pavlov won a fellowship at the Academy, and this together with his position as Director of the Physiological Laboratory at the clinic of the famous Russian clinician, S.
He completed this in 1879 and was again awarded a gold medal. However, impelled by his overwhelming interest in physiology, he decided to continue his studies and proceeded to the Academy of Medical Surgery to take the third course there. In 1875 Pavlov completed his course with an outstanding record and received the degree of Candidate of Natural Sciences. This work was widely acclaimed and he was awarded a gold medal for it. It was during this first course that he produced, in collaboration with another student, Afanasyev, his first learned treatise, a work on the physiology of the pancreatic nerves.
Pavlov became passionately absorbed with physiology, which in fact was to remain of such fundamental importance to him throughout his life. In 1870 he enrolled in the physics and mathematics faculty to take the course in natural science. Sechenov, the father of Russian physiology, were spreading, Pavlov abandoned his religious career and decided to devote his life to science. Pisarev, the most eminent of the Russian literary critics of the 1860’s and I. Inspired by the progressive ideas which D. He was educated first at the church school in Ryazan and then at the theological seminary there. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born on Septemat Ryazan, where his father, Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov, was a village priest.
