Abstract
- Myenteric microvasculature developed synchronous spontaneous Ca2+ transients.
- Pericytes on precapillary arterioles and/or capillaries pace spontaneous Ca2+ transients in arterioles.
- Ca2+ transients in pericytes and smooth muscle cells arose through SR Ca2+ release.
- T-type Ca2+ channels were required for intercellular entrainment of Ca2+ transients.
- Interstitial cells and nerves had no role in microvasculature Ca2+ transients.
