Coordination of vasomotor responses by the endothelium.
- Abstract:
-
Increases in the diameter of small resistance arteries and arterioles occur secondary to processes that can be dependent or independent of changes in membrane potential. Hyperpolarization reduces the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels and thereby the stimulus for contraction of these resistance vessels. The stimulus for smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperpolarization can occur directly via opening K(+)-channels expressed within those cells, but can also occur in response to stimulation of e...
