The paper deals with the homogenization method in the context of modelling biological tissues which undergo large deformation. The updated Lagrangian scheme is applied to obtain linear subproblems which can be homogenized using the two scale convergence, cf. [6, 7]. It is suggested how an incremental "macroscopic" constitutive law can be obtained in terms of the homogenized coefficients for contracting smooth muscle cells. A simple (hyperelastic) model of the microstructure with contractile filaments is presented.
