What Is Myogenic Theory

The myogenic theory of autoregulation states that an intrinsic property of the blood vessel, or more specifically, vascular smooth muscle, regulates vascular tone in response to changes in intraluminal pressure.

What is the purpose of the myogenic mechanism?

The mechanism by which coronary resistance vessels alter their diameter in response to pressure changes is the myogenic response. We aim to synthesize the relevant existing data for coronary myogenic responses and autoregulation in a single species: swine.

What is myogenic movement?

Myogenic response refers to a contraction initiated by the myocyte itself instead of an outside occurrence or stimulus such as nerve innervation.
