The uterus can contract without innervation and without nodal tissue. On the model proposed, purely myogenic regulation results from certain properties of the elementary contractile units of the uterus. Using a fragment of a tracing of the intrauterine pressure curve, the theoretical continuation of such a tracing can be calculated.
