Electrotonic current spread in colonic smooth muscle
Abstract
Current-induced changes in the membrane potential (electrotonic potentials) were measured intracellularly. The electrotonic potentials were seen to decay exponentially over many cells, suggesting electrotonic current spread. The characteristics of the electrotonic current spread were used to determine passive membrane properties of both circular and longitudinal muscle cells of human and dog colon. Electrotonic current spread was first …
