Give an example of smooth muscle?
An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.
Blood vessels are what type of muscles?
The walls of blood vessels have smooth muscle, which allow contraction and dilation (for example, in response to temperature changes.
What type of muscle is associated with blood vessels?
The smooth muscle type is associated with blood vessels. This muscle type is involuntary.
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.
Is cardiac muscle nourished by blood vessels?
Yes, cardiac muscle, like any other tissue of the body, is nourished by blood that is supplied by blood vessels.
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.
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.
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 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.
Where does the heart muscle receives its blood supply from?
The heart muscle is supplied by blood vessels called coronaries.
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
