Vasomotion, rhythmic oscillations in vascular tone caused by local changes in smooth
muscle constriction and dilation, has been observed since the invention of the microscope …

Vasomotion is the regular variation in tone of arteries. In our study, we suggest a model for
the initiation of vasomotion. We suggest that intermittent release of Ca2+ from the …

1 Vasomotion is the oscillation of vascular tone with frequencies in the range from 1 to 20
min− 1 seen in most vascular beds. The oscillation originates in the vessel wall and is seen …

This minireview discusses vasomotion, which is the oscillation in tone of blood vessels
leading to flowmotion. We will briefly discuss the prevalence of vasomotion and its potential …

Many arteries and arterioles exhibit rhythmical contractions which are synchronous over
considerable distances. This vasomotion is likely to assist in tissue perfusion especially …

Arteries from many vascular beds display vasomotion, ie rhythmic oscillations superimposed
on a tonic contraction. Vasomotion has been studied for more than hundred years, but the …

Vasomotion refers to spontaneous oscillation of small vessels observed in many
microvascular beds. It is an intrinsic phenomenon unrelated to cardiac rhythm or neural and …

Smooth muscle and endothelial cells in the arterial wall are exposed to mechanical stress.
Indeed blood flow induces intraluminal pressure variations and shear stress. An increase in …

Contraction-relaxation cycles in vascular smooth muscles are largely dependent on the
regulation of free Ca2+ in the myoplasm, as is the case in skeletal and cardiac muscles. In …

The effects of stepwise reductions of arterial pressure on arteriolar diameter and on
vasomotion patterns in the rabbit tenuissimus muscle were investigated in eight New …
