Yes
Yes. Smooth muscle can contract cell by cell. This causes muscles to be contracted for very long periods of time.
Smooth muscles.
That is very good question! You do not have any thing like partially contracted muscle fibres, most probably. What you have got is partially contracted muscles. The muscle is more or less contracted as per the number of muscle fibres that are contracted at any given time.

Long periods of immobility can cause muscle atrophy. This means that the muscles become weaker and thinner from disuse.
Cardiac means anything to do with the heart so go and have a good long think about that... Smooth muscle is found covering organs like the stomach.
Striated muscles contain bundled striations visible lines under a microscope. These muscles are attached to the skeleton and found at long bones, such as the muscles of thighs. Unlike smooth muscle, striated muscles contain repeating functional units called sarcomere. The muscles are under voluntary control (unlike smooth muscles) and permit strenuous work.
Smooth muscles are involuntary meaning that you cannot control them. They are found around organs in the body such as arteries, stomach, and intestines. Smooth muscles are .5mm long and are spindle shaped. Smooth Muscles also contain nerve endings.
smooth muscle is another involuntary muscle you cannot control, it is found in the walls of the internal organs and blood vessels, made up of sheets of cells that are ideally shape to form organs such as digestive tract and reproductive tract and they make up internal organs, smooth muscles are generally spherical, it is also contract slowly and can remain contracted for a long period of time without hiring, they have one nucleus.
it depends on the treatment.
