Summary Introduction

To explain:

The various forms of stimulation for controlling smooth muscle.

Concept introduction:

Smooth muscle cells are fusiform shaped and small with the centrally located nucleus. They are located through the human body and typically composing about 2% of total body weight. The contractions of the smooth muscles are not under control of an individual. They are under the control of the autonomic nervous system.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
What changes occur within the muscle as a result of increasing frequency of stimulation?
How is smooth muscle contraction affected by the drugs called calcium channel blockers?
What factors determine the duration of an isotonic twitch in skeletal muscle? An isometric twitch?
