The action of smooth muscle in the intestinal wall produces tonic contractions that maintain organ dimension against an imposed load such as a bolus of food, as well as forceful contractions that produce muscle shortening to propel the bolus along the gastrointestinal tract. These functions are regulated by intrinsic electrical and mechanical properties of smooth muscle. The complex signaling process that underlies these functions is discussed in this article. We propose a model that describes the facilitation of sustained contraction of smooth muscle cells in the gut.
