Abstract
AbstractDuring the ingestion of a meal the activation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) in the stomach wall lead to different types of contraction and relaxation processes, enabling the stomach to perform its main functions, which are the storage, mixing and transport of food. A three‐dimensional multi‐field and multi‐scale model of the gastric smooth muscle contraction is presented and its ability is tested in simulations performed on a tissue strip as well as on the whole organ.
