Parts and functions of smooth muscle?
Smooth muscle cells contain filaments called actin and myosin that extend the lengths of the cells, but these filaments are organized differently than striated muscle. Smooth muscle cells lack striations and appear "smooth" under the microscope. There are two types of smooth muscle. They are multiunit and visceral. The multiunit are not found in sheets. This found in the irises of the eye and in blood vessels. They respond to nerve stimulation and some hormones. Visceral smooth muscles are found in sheets and they are found in hollow organs. They stimulate each other forming waves. These don't tire easily and do not lose pressure when distended.
Why are smooth muscles called smooth?
Smooth muscle is no way connected to the skeleton, example intestine liver etc. Where as striated muscle is connected to skeleton so it is called striated muscle. And the third type of muscle is Cardiac Muscle. --------------------------- Smooth muscle lack the sarcomeres that give skeletal and cardiac muscles their 'striated' appearance. Skeletal muscle isn't "called striated" because it it attached to the skeleton, it is called striated because sarcomeres give muscle a striated appearance. Thus the name, smooth muscle for looking smooth without striation.
