Low calcium concentration in the external medium depolarises the membrane of smooth muscle cells of the ureter and their excitability diminishes. The Ca++ dependent oscillations of the action potential disappears, while the plateau component is more resistent. Analogous reactions are observed by the
Increase of the external K+ concentration depolarises the ureteral muscle membrane and induces, after a transient period of increased spontaneous activity, a tonic contraction. Tetraethylammonium, in concentrations normally required for ganglion blocking activity, does not influence the ureteral act
