If vomiting episodes are triggered by stress or excitement, try during a symptom-free interval to find ways to reduce stress and stay calm. Eating three small meals and three snacks daily, instead of three large meals, also may help.
Smooth muscle is fundamentally different from skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle in terms of structure, function, regulation of contraction, and excitation-contraction coupling. Smooth muscle cells known as myocytes, have a fusiform shape and, like striated muscle, can tense and relax. However, smooth muscle tissue tends to demonstrate greater elasticity and function within a larger length-tension curve than striated muscle.
Electrical activitation of smooth muscle is passed from cell to cell by gap junctions. Smooth muscle of the gut can generate intrinsic rhythmic contraction, independent from direct neural control.Input from the autonomic nervous system increases or decreases the level of this spontaneous activity.mooth muscle ((unlike skeletal muscle) consists of individual cells (leiomyocytes), each cell with its own nucleus. The function of smooth muscle also differs substantially from that of striated muscle.
