This second edition is an updated version of an introductory level
textbook intended for students who are interested in understanding
the mechanical properties of smooth muscle. Compared with skeletal
and cardiac muscles, smooth muscle is the least understood in terms
of its contraction mechanism and the structure of its contractile
apparatus. Nevertheless, it is an important tissue that is vital in
many organ functions, such as blood pressure control, intestinal
peristalsis, and the emptying of the bladder. Dysfunction of the
muscle has been implicated in many diseases such as high blood
pressure, asthma, and overactive bladders. This is the only
book-length treatment of functional models of a variety of smooth
muscle behaviors with their corresponding mathematical
descriptions, and offers an easy-to-follow, step-by-step
mathematical derivation that will help students to appreciate the
muscle cell as a fine-tuned aggregate of mechanisms governed by the
fundamental laws of physics. In addition to providing a detailed
description of the known subcellular structure and mechanical
function of the contractile apparatus of smooth muscle, it also
covers experimentation techniques, instrumentation, and data
analysis. The book is a must-have information source for anyone
interested in smooth muscle cell ultrastructure, physiology,
biochemistry, and pharmacology.
