That smooth muscles dilate and contract rhythmically has been known for a long time and the phenomenon has been studied for nearly as long. However, the causes and effects of smooth muscle oscillation (termed vasomotion) are far from clear. It is thought that vasomotion aids the delivery of oxygen to tissues surrounding capillary beds. On the other hand, unregulated vasomotion might participate in the development and maintenance of pathophysiological states. Nilsson and Aalkjaer review what is known about vasomotion and its consequences.
平滑肌有节律地舒张和收缩这一现象早已为人所知,并且对该现象的研究也持续了很长时间。然而,平滑肌振荡(称为血管运动)的成因和影响仍远未明确。人们认为血管运动有助于向毛细血管床周围的组织输送氧气。另一方面,不受调节的血管运动可能参与病理生理状态的发生和维持。尼尔森和阿尔克耶尔综述了关于血管运动及其后果的已知情况。
