What is a functional syncytium?

Cardiac muscle cells are mechanically, chemically, and electrically connected to one another, thus, the entire tissue resembles a single, enormous muscle cell. For this reason, cardiac muscle has been called a functional syncytium. This is also true of smooth muscle.

Does the trachea have skeletal muscle?

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.

How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?

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.
