The aim of this study was the investigation of bronchial reactivity in human bronchial smooth muscle in vitro. In fact, the study has two purposes: to achieve the best methods of research on human bronchial strips reactivity in vitro; to reveal the effect of acetylcholine and histamine on bronchial smooth muscle; The contractile effect of acetylcholine appears at 10(-6) M in the organ-bath; the maximal acetylcholine contraction was obtained at 10(-3) M in the organ-bath. Histamine induced a maximal contraction at 10(-3) M, but a concentration of 10(-3) M in the organ bath had no effect.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
