Linking Myometrial Physiology to Intrauterine Pressure; How Tissue-Level Contractions Create Uterine Contractions of Labor
Figure 6
Simulation of single tissue, isometric contractility experiment.
Seeds and Weibull parameters were specifically selected for the anatomy sensitivity to be near 1 (0.991), and the action potential threshold to be low (0.558). A. Minimum pressure set above action potential threshold (0.6) reveals repetitive contractions. B. Minimum pressure set below threshold (0.55) reveals no repetitive contractions, even though the initial pressure is above threshold.
