What is Increase in cytosolic calcium from intracellular storage, during smooth muscle contraction, is/are due to and explain in detail?
In smooth muscle contraction, calcium channels are opened causing an influx of calcium into the cell. In smooth muscle cells, agonists such as neurotransmitters or hormones can induce an increase in (i) a release of intracellular stored calcium or/and an influxof extracellular calcium. ...
