A comparative investigation of the longitudinal and circular muscles in the pregnant rat uterus (10-15 days) was made by means of electrical and mechanical recordings. The response of the circular muscle strip was characterized in the following respects: application of stretch caused acceleration of spontaneous activity that was greater in extent than in the longitudinal muscle strip; tetanic contraction was not produced by repetitive stimuli in the range of 0.1-5 Hz; slow potential was dominant in the circular muscle cells. The longitudinal contraction of the uterine segment occurred in synchronization with the change in the intraluminal pressure. Either the longitudinal stretch or the increase in the intraluminal volume caused the acceleration of synchronized activity. Stimulation of the longitudinal muscle caused membrane response in the circular muscle cells and vice versa, suggesting electrical interference between longitudinal and circular muscle cells.
