    About this ebook

    This book describes Smooth Muscle Diseases, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
    Learning muscle contraction can be quite a beast
    Complex and detailed, to say the least
    But with this poem, you are sure to learn
    How the muscles work, why at times they burn

    Intimidating, I know, but it is not to worry
    Just keep on reading and you’ll learn in a hurry
    All is launched by an Action Potential
    Traveling in a neuron to a voltage gated channel

    This tells the Calcium to move on in
    And trigger the ACH that it’s ready to begin
    ACH crosses the cleft to enter the cell
    And calls up the Sodium to come in as well

    This changes the charge inside the fiber
    The charge is a key and the muscle the driver
    If threshold is reached, Action Potential is sent
    It moves down the membrane, straight and not bent

    T-tubules are next in the APs passage
    And our hero calcium is back to send quite a message
    Calcium is a bouncer bumping troponin from the club
    Typtomysoin is troponin’s friend, also dubbed a scrub

    They are taken off actin so myosin can bind
    And begin the cross bridge cycling all in a line
    This is what causes the muscle contraction
    The heads moving quickly in concerted action

    But this cycle cannot continue forever
    The muscle must relax or enter rigor
    So to keep you from becoming a stiff
    ATP comes along like a Christmas gift

    The perfect amount to release myosin heads
    And let them return home to rest in their beds
    Now what I just detailed is only one type of muscle
    We have 3 different kinds all helping us hustle

    Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac are the 3. Each make us move
    They keep our hearts beating and let our legs groove
    Cardiac and smooth function differently then described
    They have unique physiologies by which they abide

    Smooth muscles does not use troponin to go
    Cardiac muscles do, but their rate of potential is slow
    This happens because their calcium channels are left open
    To keep the heart contracting and the muscles not frozen

    Smooth and Cardiac muscle cells both have gap junctions
    To call each other on the phone and invite friends to functions
    One says, “hey lets move. There’s a burrito coming down.”
    And the others join in immediately to churn the lunch around

    There are many more details and information to describe
    But this poem is enough to understand how muscles work inside

    By Anna Taylor

    This is one of the best poems to learn about muscles
    Smooth muscle is non-striated, uni-nucleate, and under involuntary control regulated by the autonomic nervous system.
    Smooth muscles are muscle tissue present in the walls of hollow organs
    Smooth muscles, which can not be voluntarily regulated, normally happen in sheets or layers, one layer of muscle behind another and function all over the body
    In the digestive system the smooth muscles contract and relax moving food through the body
    Smooth muscles are also present in the bladder.
    When relaxed, the opening in the bladder is shut which permits urine to stay in the bladder.
    When a person passes urine, they contract pushing urine out of the bladder.
    Smooth muscles in a woman's uterus, where a baby develops, push the baby out when it is time for delivery.
    Smooth muscles are even present in the irises of the eyes to keep the eyes focused and regulate the quantity of light that enters the eye.
    The cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory systems are made mostly of hollow organs the walls of which are made of smooth muscles.
    Diseases of smooth muscles are:
    Irritable Bowel Syndrome
    Gastroparesis
    Intestinal Motility disorder
    Asthma
    Bronchioectasis
    Bronchiolitis
    Breastfeeding
    Atherosclerosis
    Bladder Incontinence

      Introduction

      I have been writing medical articles for my blog: http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Disorder) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.

      My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.

      Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).

      I then wrote an autobiolographical account of his journey as a medical student to family doctor on his other blog: http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.

      This autobiolographical account A Family Doctor’s Tale was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Disorders into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale on http://kenkee481.wordpress.com.

      From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 800 eBooks.

      Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.

      For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.

      The later books go into more details of medical disorders.

      The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.

      Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.

      As I tried to bring the patient the latest information about a disorder or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.

      Just by writing all these simple guides I find that I have learned a lot from your reviews (good or bad), criticism and advice.

      I am sorry for the repetitions in these simple guides as the second chapters onwards have new information as compared to my first chapter taken from my blog.

      I also find repetition definitely help me and maybe some readers to remember the facts in the books more easily.

      I apologize if these repetitions are irritating to some readers.

      By Anna Taylor

      This is one of the best poems to learn about muscles

      All humans can move due to muscles.

      Smooth Muscle Definition:

      Smooth muscle is non-striated, uni-nucleate, and under involuntary control (not conscious) regulated by the autonomic nervous system.

      Smooth muscles are muscle tissue present in the walls of hollow organs, e.g. blood vessels, the digestive tract, the uterus, etc.

      Smooth muscles, which can not be voluntarily regulated, normally happen in sheets or layers, one layer of muscle behind another.

      These muscles function all over the body

      In the digestive system the smooth muscles contract and relax moving food through the body

      Smooth muscles are also present in the bladder.

      When they are relaxed, the opening in the bladder is shut which permits urine to stay in the bladder.

      When someone enters the bathroom to pass urine, they contract pushing urine out of the bladder.

      Smooth muscles in a woman's uterus, where a baby develops and grows, push the baby out when it is time for delivery.

      Smooth muscles are even present in the irises of the eyes where they assist to keep the eyes focused, and help regulate the quantity of light that enters the eye.

      The cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory systems are made mostly of hollow organs (tubular or saccular) which carry and store fluids (liquids or gases) within the body.

      The walls of these organs have smooth muscle a type of tissue which allows them to constrict or dilate in this way halting or facilitating fluid movement as needed.

      The shortening or lengthening of the individual smooth muscle cells happens in a co-ordinated manner because the cells are electrically coupled by intercellular connections called gap junctions.

      Other structures in the body that have smooth muscle are the piloerector muscles which induce skin hair to stand up.

      Smooth muscle thus sub-serves all internal, involuntary functions other than the movements of breathing and the beating of the heart.

      Many directly acting chemical agents involve its contraction but most smooth muscle is also under the regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

      In some areas such as most blood vessels it is involved only by the sympathetic component and at others (in the gut and the iris) by dual, and occasionally opposite, effects of sympathetic and
