What are the key differences in the structure and function between smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
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.
What is Non-striated involuntary muscle type?
its Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, so-called because it has no sarcomeres and therefore no striations (bands or stripes). It is divided into two subgroups, single-unit and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit muscle, the whole bundle or sheet of smooth muscle cells contracts as a syncytium. lol i know more than u
