You bathe a smooth muscle cell in the calmodulin inhibitor, W-7, then stimulate the muscle cell at a voltage level sufficient to elicit contraction under control conditions. Based upon your knowledge of the mechanisms mediating smooth muscle contraction, which of the following would you expect to take place? A. The smooth muscle would not contract. B. The force generated and duration of contraction would be greater than control. C. You would not see any difference between experimental and control conditions.

Respuesta :

According to mechanisms mediating smooth muscle contraction, it is expected that The force generated and duration of contraction would be greater than the control.

In the end, blood flow and luminal diameter in vascular systems are determined by smooth muscle cells. A crucial mechanism for regulating the contractility of vascular smooth muscle is dynamic changes in intracellular calcium. As a result, intracellular calcium-influencing processes are significant regulators of vascular function with physiological and pathophysiological ramifications.

If smooth muscle were bathed in a calcium-modulated medium (calmodulin) and then excited to a voltage level, there would be a novel mechanism for the contraction that is not dependent on Ca ion entry, so choice b is correct.
