Functional Properties of Suburothelial Microvessels in the Rat Urinary Bladder


Supplementary videos
  • Supplementary video 1
    Spontaneous constrictions of a suburothelial venule. An arteriole (above) did not develop spontaneous constrictions.
  • Supplementary video 2
    Spontaneous Ca2+ transients in smooth muscle cells of a suburothelial venule. Smooth muscle cells in an arteriole (below) did not exhibit spontaneous Ca2+ transients.
  • Supplementary video 3
    Spontaneous Ca2+ transients in perivascular ICs network of a suburothelial venule.
  • Supplementary video 4
    Spontaneous Ca2+ transients in perivascular ICs network of a suburothelial venule that had been treated with wortmannin (1 μM) to minimize movement artifacts.
  • Supplementary video 5
    Asynchronous spontaneous Ca2+ transients in perivascular ICs of a suburothelial venule that had been treated with nicardipine (1 μM).
