Cremaster muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cremaster muscle is a muscle that covers the testis. Its function is to raise and lower the scrotum in order to regulate the temperature of the testis and promote spermatogenesis. In a cool envi...

Cremasteric reflex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cremasteric reflex is a superficial reflex observed in human males. This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking the superior and medial (inner) part of the thigh. The normal response is a contra...

These observations suggest that pervanadate-induced contraction of smooth muscle in the cremaster arteriole involves Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin ...

Arteriolar dilations induced by contraction of hamster cremaster muscle are dependent on changes in endothelial cell calcium. ... Muscle contraction initiates microvascular arteriolar dilation in regions directly overlapping the active fibres but the cells (vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells) responsible...

These levels of inhibition did not correlate with non-specific changes in force generation by skeletal muscle measured in vitro. Therefore, our data support that K(+) is involved in the rapid dilatation in response to a single muscle contraction across a wide range of stimulus frequencies...

We addressed the role of endothelial cells (ECs) in metabolic dilatation of skeletal muscle arterioles in anaesthetized mice in situ. Electrical field stimulation was used to contract the cremaster muscle for 15 s at 30 Hz. ... Chelation of EC Ca(2+) abolished the dilatations in response to muscle contraction (1.1 +/- 0.7 microm,

The work expended in muscle contraction needs energy. This energy is released from glucose by respiration. This is usually aerobic respiration. ...
