What is the function of the smooth muscle cell?

I hate school


What are 3 type stuff of musclea tissue?

The three different types are the skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscles are ONLY found in the heart area, the skeletal is the muscle that moves the bones and the smooth muscle is in most of your main organs.


Is the smooth muscle cell a multicellular organism or a unicellular?

Smooth muscle cells are unicellular organisms, as they are individual cells that make up the smooth muscle tissue found in various organs of the body. They function as part of a larger tissue but do not exist as multicellular organisms on their own. Each smooth muscle cell is specialized for contraction and helps facilitate various involuntary movements within the body, such as peristalsis in the digestive tract.


What muscle transmits impulses along cytoplasmic extensions?

Smooth muscle is capable of transmitting impulses along its cytoplasmic extensions due to the presence of gap junctions, which allow for direct cell-to-cell communication. This feature enables coordinated contractions in smooth muscle tissue.


Do smooth or skeletal muscle form a functional syncytium?

Smooth muscle forms a functional syncytium due to the presence of gap junctions that allow electrical signals to pass from one cell to the next, enabling coordinated contractions. Skeletal muscle, on the other hand, does not form a functional syncytium as each skeletal muscle cell (fiber) is innervated individually by a motor neuron and must be stimulated independently.
