Effect of stretch on airway contraction. A human airway contracted with MCh and exposed to sequential uni-axial stretching to mimic breathing (details of the effect of each stretch is shown in the insert box) responded with an increase in the baseline of airway size (relaxed). When stretching was terminated, the airway began to slowly re-contract in response to the continual presence of MCH.
