Smooth, warmed river stones are used with nourishing oils and therapeutic heat to penetrate deep into your muscles for a euphoric massage experience.
Unlike the smooth muscles that an individual can not consciously control, the striated muscles of the external sphincter allow for voluntary interruption of abdominal pressure to prevent urine leakage, such as occurs in coughing or sneezing.

It is a naturally occurring relaxer of smooth-muscle cells in the penile arteries and by this action dramatically increases blood flow to the penis.

These images were taken as part of an experiment to determine the intracellular signaling mechanisms involved in transduction of stretch into activation of the vascular smooth muscle contractile machinery.
Individual smooth muscle fibers are connected to neighboring smooth muscle cells by gap junctions, which allow these cells to be electrically coupled.
COX2 gene induction by Gaq coupled receptor in vascular smooth muscle cells is sensitive to cyclosporin and involves NFAT.
