Its a type of smooth muscle that is made up of fibers bounded together to form a single unit.It is found in walls of hollow organs(digestive tract, urinary tract, hollow vessels and reproductive system.In some cases they are self- excitable.They spontaneously generate graded oscillation in their membrane potential that is rhythmical in nature called slow wave potential or pace maker activity.
Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are controlled involuntarily - they are not under conscious control. Smooth muscles control functions such as digestion and blood vessel constriction, while cardiac muscles control the beating of the heart.
No, sarcomeres are not visible in smooth muscle. Smooth muscle lacks the organized sarcomere structure found in striated muscle, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. Instead, smooth muscle has a more scattered arrangement of contractile proteins.
No, the trachea does not have skeletal muscle. Instead, it is composed of smooth muscle, cartilage, and connective tissue. Smooth muscle allows for involuntary control of the trachea's diameter and airflow.
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart. Smooth muscle is involuntary and under autonomic control, while cardiac muscle is also involuntary but has its own specialized conduction system. Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and have a single nucleus, while cardiac muscle cells are branched and have one or two nuclei. Smooth muscle contracts slowly and rhythmically, while cardiac muscle contracts quickly and continuously.

No, they are visceral and from the efferent or motor neurons.
the muscles are smooth muscles!

Muscles are made up of "excitable cells" which can contract. Visceral muscle is smooth muscle--one of three types of muscles in the body. Visceral muscle is found in the body in places like the arteries, bladder, the digestive tract and many other muscles which need to contract in order to perform their job.
