Interstitial cells of Cajal: mediators of communication between circular and longitudinal muscle layers of canine colon
Abstract
Abstract The network of interstitial cells of Cajal associated with Auerbach’s (myenteric) plexus in the canine colon was investigated to determine its role in facilitating communication between circular and longitudinal muscle layers. Electrical coupling between the muscle layers was demonstrated by propagating extracellularly evoked electrotonic pulses from circular muscle cells to nearby longitudinal muscle cells. The likelihood of …
