Smooth muscle electrical activity is measured in the GI tract. The frequency of the slow waves (BER) is 12 times per minute. Administration of substance A decreases the slow waves to 4 times per minute, Administration of substance B allows the depolarization phase of the slow waves to exceed the threshold potential. Administration of substance C prevents the depolarization phase of the slow waves to exceed the threshold potential.
