Abstract
There are many instances where these spasmogens applied to smooth muscle preparations have both a direct action on the smooth muscle cells, as well as an indirect action through release of some other mediator [1] . It is obviously of importance when studying a system where an indirect action is apparent, to identify the mediator involved, since analysis of mixed responses is not otherwise possible in receptor classification or mechanistic studies.
