## 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
Contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle is a tightly regulated process involving numerous endogenous substances and their intracellular second messengers. We examine the key role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in mediating smooth muscle relaxation. We briefly review the current art reg
