Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.

The type of muscle that is found in digestive tract and blood vessels?
smooth muscle
What type of muscle is associated with blood vessels?
The smooth muscle type is associated with blood vessels. This muscle type is involuntary.
What kind of muscle tissue would you find in the blood vessels?
Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
Give an example of smooth muscle?
An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.
What kind of Involuntary muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and in the digestive tract?
Smooth muscle tissue is the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body.
Describe one similarity and one differences between the muscle tissue and the blood vessels you viewed with the microscope?
Muscle tissue and blood vessels both use fibroblasts, a precursor for the smooth muscle cells that stabilize the blood vessels. One difference is that the muscle tissue requires oxygenated blood in order to function.
What is the effects of parasympathetic stimulation on smooth muscle of blood vessels?
Nothing. The blood vessels are not innervated by the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system; only the sympathetics innervate blood vessels. Their action results in constriction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the vessels.
Which type of muscle is responsible for constricting the walls of blood vessels?
A type of smooth (or involuntary) muscle collectively referred to as vascular smooth muscle, which is responsible for controlling the diameter of the lumen of blood vessels.
The type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract and blood vessels?
Smooth muscle
What kind of muscle is found in the iris of the eye and the blood vessels?
smooth muscle
What is the muscle that surrounds the blood vessel?
Blood vessels are surrounded by smooth muscle. This is often known as visceral muscle. This type of muscle also lines the blood vessels and internal organs.
Where can smooth muscle cells be found?
in organ and blood vessels
