Smooth muscle tissue is primarily found in the walls of hollow organs and structures within the body. This includes the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, the bladder, and the uterus. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is involuntary and helps facilitate processes such as peristalsis, blood flow regulation, and the expulsion of urine.
What else can I help you with?
Which activity is most likely to be controlled by a smooth muscle?
A smooth muscle is responsible for the contractibility of hollow organs, such as blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Going to the bathroom would be controlled by these types of muscles.
A drug that decreases peristalsis would be one that?
A drug that decreases peristalsis would likely be an anticholinergic medication, which blocks the action of acetylcholine in the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibition can slow down the contractions of the smooth muscle in the intestines, reducing peristalsis.
What organs would you most likely see muscle tissues in?
You would most likely see muscle tissues in organs such as the heart, which contains cardiac muscle, and in the skeletal muscles attached to the bones for movement. Smooth muscle tissue is also found in organs like the digestive tract, blood vessels, and the urinary bladder.
Which one of these is NOT a type of muscle tissue?
The three main types of muscle tissue are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Any other tissue type, such as epithelial or connective tissue, would not be considered muscle tissue. Therefore, if you have a specific option in mind, it would likely be one of those non-muscle tissue types.
What is the name for the rhythmic smooth muscle?
The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
Which activity is most likely to be controlled by a smooth muscle?
A smooth muscle is responsible for the contractibility of hollow organs, such as blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Going to the bathroom would be controlled by these types of muscles.
Give an example of smooth muscle?
An example of smooth muscle would be in your blood vessels.
What Type Of Muscles Aids In The Digestion Of Food?
Smooth muscles are found in the intestines and stomach. If these were skeletal muscles, instead of smooth, you would have to physically think about digesting your food to control digestion, and no food would get digested while you were busy or sleeping!it is the smooth muscles only.Smooth muscle

A drug that decreases peristalsis would likely be an anticholinergic medication, which blocks the action of acetylcholine in the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibition can slow down the contractions of the smooth muscle in the intestines, reducing peristalsis.

You would most likely see muscle tissues in organs such as the heart, which contains cardiac muscle, and in the skeletal muscles attached to the bones for movement. Smooth muscle tissue is also found in organs like the digestive tract, blood vessels, and the urinary bladder.
Which muscle tissue shows no striations?
Smooth muscle Tissue have no striations. (there are 3 types of muscle tissue - Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth) Smooth propels substances along internal passageways involuntarily.
Where would you NOT find smooth muscle?
Respiratory airways
Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?
Contraction of smooth muscle in arterioles would lead to vasoconstriction, which would increase resistance to blood flow and subsequently increase blood pressure. Conversely, relaxation of smooth muscle in arterioles (vasodilation) would decrease resistance and lower blood pressure.
Which type of muscle is most frequent in your bodies?
Probably skeletal muscle but smooth muscle would be a close second.
What type of muscle is the Intestinal wall?
smooth muscles makes up the intestinal wall whereas skeletal muscles would make up your biceps, triceps, and any other part of your body that you consciously control.Involuntary smooth muscle.Smooth muscle lines the intestines, and contracts in waves to push food along.Smooth musclesmooth muscleThe type of muscle that the pushes food down to the intestines is called smooth muscle tissue. This is an involuntary non-straited muscle that is found within the walls of blood vessels.Yes smooth muscles are the muscles found in small intestine
What muscle tissue referred to as the muscular system?
Technically the muscular system refers to all three types of muscle tissues; skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. However, the cardiac and smooth muscles can be considered functional units of other systems as well. In the case of the cardiac muscle it would be the cardiovascular system and in the case of smooth muscle it would most likely be the digestive system. I say most likely because the largest amount of smooth muscle is associated with the digestive system and the gastrointestinal tract, but it is also a part of other systems and organs. Here a a few examples: muscular lining of arterioles in the cardiovascular system and the muscular lining of the urinary bladder in the excretory system.
What s the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body?
That would be involuntary or smooth muscles. Voluntary muscles are those which you use at will, like your biceps and triceps. Cardiac muscles are those found in the heart.
