Figure 4.

Model predictions for contractile force by a single contractile unit in ASM fibers located in the middle of the airway wall during (a) Protocol 1 and (b) Protocol 2 for $g_1=0.1$. Gray curves show contractile force during application of transmural pressure oscillations, blue curves show the mean contractile force during oscillations, and red curves are the contractile force resulting from application of static transmural pressure.
