Effects of stimulants and relaxants on the cytosolic Ca 2+ level ([Ca2+]cy,) and contraction were examined in isolated canine tracheal smooth muscle. High K + and carbachol induced a sustained increase in [CaZ+]cyt and muscle tension. Cumulative addition of KCI induced a graded increase in [Ca2+Jcy
## Abstract The anisotropic (directionalβdependent) properties of contracting tracheal smooth muscle tissue are estimated from a computational model based on the experimental data of lengthβdependent stiffness. The area changes are obtained at different muscle lengths from experiments in which stim
Prolonged or repeated exposure to p-agonist medications may result in a desensitization of the agonist-mediated response. Under certain conditions, such agonist-induced desensitization may limit the efficacy of administered p-adrenergic agonists to elicit bronchodilation. Accordingly, the present st
