Supports smooth muscle contractile models; leaves open translation to human cardiovascular physiology.

Structured PICO

Population

Rat small intestine smooth muscle tissue

Intervention

Vascular perfusion employing aldehydes in a balanced salt solution, followed by immersion fixation in aldehydes and post-osmication

Outcome

Structural organization and distribution of thick and thin filamentssurrogate

The study provides structural evidence that the vertebrate smooth muscle contractile apparatus consists of interdigitating thick and thin filaments anchored in dense bodies and attachment plaques.
