Description
This book is a compendium of the latest electrophysiological research on smooth muscles from an international collection of authors. It includes recent discoveries in calcium stores and their relationship to contraction and to electrical changes in the membrane. A major section of the book concentrates on calcium release mechanisms in the cell, their control, and the consequences of calcium release in the cell for membrane events. Smooth Muscle Excitation also covers the effects of chemicals released from adjacent cells.

The authors jointly have more than half a century's experience in smooth muscle research. Both were members of Edith Bulbring's Oxford Group. Professor Tomita worked in Oxford on the cable properties of smooth muscles for which he received his Doctor of Philosophy Degree. After returning to Japan he was appointed Professor of Physiology at Nagoya State University in 1979. Professor Bolton has also worked extensively on smooth muscle electrophysiology and was appointed Professor of Pharmacology at the University of London in 1980.
