Originating in muscle tissue (rather than from nerve impulses).
〔生理〕肌（原）性的
Example sentencesExamples
The muscle of the pylorus does, however, show the high degree of myogenic tone characteristic of other sphincters.
This tonic contraction is mostly myogenic, due to special properties of this smooth muscle, but it is modified by excitatory and inhibitory nerves.
Some crustaceans, notably in more ‘primitive’ groups, develop and retain a myogenic heart beat.
In these, wingbeat rhythm is not matched to the rate of neural stimulation, which supports oscillatory work at a myogenic rather than neurogenic rhythm.
For instance, many transgenic experiments with members of the myogenic pathway have defects that differentially impact epaxial and hypaxial muscles.
