Figure 8. Role of extracellular Ca2+ in generating spontaneous Ca2+ transients in ICC-LCs of the urethra.

Figure 8

A, in a urethral smooth muscle preparation, ICC-LC generated spontaneous Ca2+ transients. Increasing [Ca2+]o from 2.5 mm to 5 mm accelerated ICC-LC Ca2+ transients and increased basal Ca2+ concentration. B, in a different preparation, ICC-LC generated spontaneous Ca2+ transients. Switching from normal PSS to nominally Ca2+ free solution rapidly abolished ICC-LC Ca2+ transients.
