Vascular smooth muscle cells 44 sec.
Monolayer of vascular smooth muscle cells surrounds a layer of endothelial cells which faces bloodstream. Endothelial cells sense the change in bloodflow rate and inform it to vascular smooth muscle cells. By calcium microscopy and calcium indicator, we can see a change in color of vascular smooth muscle cells from blue to red. It means that the concentration of calcium in these cells increases. And then, blood vessels contract.
