smooth muscle tissue

Smooth muscle tissue, like the uterus, needs calcium to contract.

Alpha-blockers relax the smooth muscle tissue in the prostate and the opening to the bladder.

Lymph hearts have stretch receptors and smooth muscle tissue embedded in their walls.

There are two isoforms that code for actins in the smooth muscle tissue:

None Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that arises from smooth muscle tissue.

It also relaxes smooth muscle tissues.

The results in Fig. 3 confirm that the isoform is only expressed in visceral smooth muscle tissues.

Many of your body's activities, including breathing and eating, require the participation of both skeletal and smooth muscle tissue.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is known to decrease sympathetic response by slowing the heart rate and constricting the smooth muscle tissue.

Various diseases may produce changes in the smooth muscle tissue of the corpora cavernosa or influence the patient's psychologic mood and behavior.

The most common indication is the presence of fibroids, benign tumors of smooth muscle tissue within the uterus that can be found in most women.

They are mediators and have a variety of strong physiological effects, such as regulating the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle tissue.

Smooth muscle tissue surrounding the megaloschizont cells was found to be partially calcified, pale, swollen, and early signs of necrosis were noted.

Similar RNA analysis showed that the visceral isoform was not expressed in 20 day fetal rabbit smooth muscle tissues.

A thickening of the muscularis mucosa, which is the smooth muscle tissue found beneath the mucosal layer of the digestive tract.

Mate has been shown to have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on myocardial (heart) tissue.

A fully protected fragment is found in all types of smooth muscle tissues and two partially protected fragments are present only in visceral tissues.

Multiunit smooth muscle tissues innervate individual cells; as such, they allow for fine control and gradual responses, much like motor unit recruitment in skeletal muscle.

Alpha-blockers help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by relaxing smooth muscle tissue found in the prostate and the bladder neck.

His PhD research was in protein biochemistry elucidating the role of calcium regulation in stimulus response coupling in neural and smooth muscle tissue.

This isoform (corresponding to SM1 MHC) was expressed in all adult smooth muscle tissues studied and was highly tissue-specific.

Further different smooth muscle tissues display extremes of abundant to little sarcoplasmic reticulum so excitation-contraction coupling varies with its dependence on intracellular or extracellular calcium.

Calcium channel blockers may decrease the contractility of the smooth muscle tissue in the urinary bladder, causing urinary retention with overflow incontinence.

Specifically in blood vessels, the increase in Ca concentration from IP releases nitric oxide, which then diffuses into the smooth muscle tissue and causes relaxation.
