Smooth muscles must have elasticity to accommodate the varying volumes and pressures within hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels. This elasticity allows them to stretch and contract efficiently, facilitating essential functions like digestion and circulation. Without elasticity, smooth muscles would struggle to maintain proper organ function and respond to physiological demands, leading to potential health issues. Overall, elasticity ensures optimal performance and adaptability in dynamic environments.
What else can I help you with?
Can you contract your smooth and cardiac muscles on purpose?
Smooth Muscles can, but Cardiac Muscles can not.
Are smooth muscles involuntary muscles?
yes. The smooth muscles (e.g. in the digestive tract) are involuntary.
Is the smooth muscle elastic?
Smooth muscle is not as elastic as skeletal muscle, but it does possess some degree of elasticity. This allows smooth muscle to stretch and contract in response to various stimuli, maintaining organ function and blood flow regulation.
Is the smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Smooth muscles are involuntary, as are cardiac muscles. Only skeletal muscles are voluntary.
Smooth muscles under involuntary control?
yes. Smooth muscles are another name for involuntary muscles.
What muscles are unstriated?
smooth muscles.

The muscles of the digestive system are smooth muscles.
Smooth muscles are from which family of muscles?
Involuntary muscles
Which muscles are involuntaries?
smooth muscles and cardiac muscles
What the organ that can relax contract and can move bones in the body?
smooth muscles
What are the differences between smooth and striated muscle?
Here we are talking about the surface of the muscles..... Smooth muscles have smooth surface while striated muscles have rough surface.....
Peristalsis the squeezing action of the digestive muscle is an example of what type of muscle?
Smooth muscles. These muscles are not striated and are involuntary.
