The vascular smooth muscle, which exhibits the Bayliss phenomenon, is the tissue that is responsible for the control of the total peripheral resistance, arterial and venous tone, and the distribution of blood flow throughout the body. The VSM cells do not demonstrate the action potentials and contractions unlike with the skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. But, the vascular smooth muscle cells helps to regulate the vessel diameter by the state of contraction; thus the vasoconstrictor and vasodilator influences the vascular smooth muscle. http://www.usc.edu/dept/biomed/bme403/Section_3/vascular_smooth_muscle.html   (223 words)      Urokinase-derived peptides regulate vascular smooth muscle contraction in vitro and in vivo -- HAJ-YEHIA et al. 14 ...

The type of contraction that the vascuar smooth muscle undergoes is TONIC, i.e the diameter of the tubes is regulated by developing tension for contractions to move blood around the body. This is because they have to pump blood away from the heart to all the organs and tissues that need the oxgenated blood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_smooth_muscle   (154 words)      Therapeutic inhibitor of vascular smooth muscle cells (US6358989) Method for treating disorders of the vascular and pulmonary systems Use of gamma-interferon for the treatment of vascular stenosis Also provided is a method to inhibit or reduce vascular remodeling following vascular trauma, comprising administering an effective amount of a cytoskeletal inhibitor. http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US06358989__   (878 words)      Smooth muscle archvillin: a novel regulator of signaling and contractility in vascular smooth muscle -- Gangopadhyay et ...
