What are the two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells?

The main neurotransmitters involved with smooth muscle is Acetylcholine which causes an exited effect in smooth tissue and Adrenalin which causes an inhibitory effect. Adrenalin is produced by the adrenal gland when animals are in high stress or phsically elated situations. This causes the "flight or fight" mode in animals and increases function of regions of body necessary for survial such as skeletal muscle. Thus smooth muscle in the gut for example isn't vital in dangers situations therefore contraction of this muscle is decreased by the neurotransmitter.

The two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells are acetylcholine and?
noradrenaline
What can acetylcholine and norepinephrine affect?
Smooth Muscle Cells
Which type of muscles contain spindle shaped cells?
Skeletal muscle tissue has cylindrical cells. Due to the cells in the skeletal muscle, the muscle can now allow movement to the bones in the body.
Is smooth muscle cells voluntary?
no, skeletal muscle cells are
What is the general shape of smooth muscle cells and plant fibers?
smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped
How are smooth muscle cells similar to skeletal fibers?
Smooth muscle cells are similar to skeletal muscle cells due to the actin-tropomyosin interactions. These interactions "tell" the muscle when to contract.
What best describes the cells of unitary smooth muscle?
Smooth muscle is the involuntarily controlled muscle. In unitary smooth muscle, the cells are connected by gap junctions and are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and hormones.
Which type of muscle is characterized by cells with tapered ends and a single nucleus?
Smooth muscle
What muscle cells consisting of a single nucleus are believed to be important for muscle hypertrophy?
smooth muscle cells
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
What muscle tissue spindle-shape cells?
Smooth Muscle
Do smooth muscle cells posses central nuclei but lack striations?
Smooth muscle is not striated, hence the name smooth muscle.nonotcardiac muscle
