Journal ArticleDOI
The membrane properties of the smooth muscle cells of the rabbit main pulmonary artery.
TL;DR: During outward current pulses, the membrane shows marked rectification and action potentials can never be generated, so this smooth muscle tissue is classified as a single‐unit type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitation—contraction coupling in the smooth muscle cells of the rabbit main pulmonary artery
TL;DR: Increasing the external K concentration depolarizes the smooth muscle cells of the main pulmonary artery, and this depolarization reaches a maximal slope of 58 mV for a tenfold change of [K]o.
