the tunica media consists almost entirely of smooth muscle why?
Give an example of a smooth muscle?
The muscle lining most organs in the body - e.g. wall of the intestine
What is the lining of arteries and veins made of that helps them propel blood?

What type of muscle that is food in the digestive tract and blood vessels?

What is the advantage of having smooth muscle lining the intestinal tract rather than skeletal or cardiac?
The advantage of having smooth muscle lining the intestinal tract is that it allows for involuntary, continuous, and rhythmic contractions, which are essential for peristalsis and the movement of food through the digestive system. Unlike skeletal muscle, which is under voluntary control, smooth muscle operates autonomously, enabling the digestive processes to function without conscious effort. Additionally, smooth muscle's ability to contract slowly and sustain long periods of tension is ideal for the gradual processing and mixing of food, unlike the rapid contractions of cardiac or skeletal muscle.
