title: [Arteriole reactions to rhythmic displacement of the fibers of the submaxillary muscle].
abstract: The fibers of acutely decentralized resting submaxillary muscle of anesthetized frogs were locally shifted by a piezoelectric device (frequency--about 4 Hz) in the direction of fiber shortening during muscular contractions. Arteriole configuration in the affected area changed and they became dilated. The maximum increase of the diameter was 16 to 126%. The latent period, the time during which peak reaction was reached, and the degree of arteriole dilatation during configuration changes were similar to those observed during 4 Hz muscle twitches. It is suggested that a mechanical factor, namely arteriole microdeformations, plays an essential role in the working hyperemia of skeletal muscles.
