How can smooth muscle contract if it has no striation or sacromeres?
Barbiecantoriafb7492
The proteins that form the visible striations in skeletal and cardiac muscle are not organized the same way in smooth muscle. It contacts in a similar way but much more slowly and in waves. Some of the proteins are different ones but still produce movement.
