Schematic diagram illustrating the organization of Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) and smooth muscle (SM) cells in the canine gastric antrum.31 SM are arranged in the longitudinal direction (LM) and the circular direction (CM) of the stomach. ICCs are distributed between the intermittent spaces of SM, which include myenteric ICCs (ICCMY), intramuscular ICCs (ICCIM), and septal ICCs (ICCSEP). Also shown on the right is the representation of the ICC and SM cells in an anatomically based computational model.
