How can smooth muscle contract if it has no striation or sarcomeres?
Actin and myosin are present in all three muscle types. In skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, these proteins are organized in sarcomeres, with thin and thick filaments. The internal organization of a smooth muscle cell is very different: • A smooth muscle fibre has no T tubules, and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) forms a loose network throughout the sarcoplasm. Smooth muscle tissue has no myofibrils or sarcomeres. As a result, this tissue also has no striations and is called nonstriated muscle. • Thick filaments are scattered throughout the sarcoplasm of a smooth muscle cell. The myosin proteins are organized differently than in skeletal or cardiac muscle cells, and smooth muscle cells have more cross-bridges per thick filament. • The thin filaments in a smooth muscle cell are attached to dense bodies, structures distributed throughout the sarcoplasm in a network of intermediate filaments composed of the protein desmin. Some of the dense bodies are firmly attached to the sarcolemma. The dense bodies and intermediate filaments anchor the thin filaments such that, when sliding occurs between thin and thick filaments, the cell shortens. Dense bodies are not arranged in straight lines, so when a contraction occurs, the muscle cell twists like a corkscrew. • Adjacent smooth muscle cells are bound together at dense bodies, transmitting the contractile forces from cell to cell throughout the tissue. • Although smooth muscle cells are surrounded by connective tissue, the collagen fibres never unite to form tendons or aponeuroses as they do in skeletal muscles.
Which bacteria produces Yellow sulphur granules?
Actinomyces israelii is the classic pathogen that does this. It is a gram positive rod that forms branching filaments, resembling fungi. This little guy is an obligate anaerobe. Hope this helps!

endoplasmic reticulum
In animal cell cytokenisis involved?
Cleavage furrow involves in cytokinesis.A belt of actine filaments forms the cleavage.
What is a bactofilin?
A bactofilin is an element of the cytoskeleton which forms filaments throughout the cells of a certain rod-shaped proteobacterium - Myxococcus xanthus.
Which cytoskeletal proteins are important constituents of the contractile structures that form the cleavage furrows involved in animal cell cytokinesis?
Micro filaments form the cleavage furrow.Ring of filaments lay in the equator of the cell and its contraction forms the cleavage.
