Summary Introduction

To determine:

The most accurate statement for smooth muscles.

Introduction:

Smooth muscles are found in the walls of internal organs such as the urinary bladder, uterus, and intestine. They are found in the eye iris, respiratory and circulatory system. They are present as fibers with an elongated shape in the walls of the digestive alimentary canal. Their contraction is controlled by the nervous system, which helps in the process of peristalsis and segmentation

Which of the following statements about smooth muscle is false? (a) Smooth muscle cells are called fibers. (b) Most smooth muscle cells, like cardiac muscle cells, are joined by gap junctions. (c) Smooth muscle cells have a single, centrally located nucleus. (d) Contraction of smooth muscle is stimulated exclusively by involuntary nerves. (e) Smooth muscle tissue found in the wall of hollow organs is arranged in sheets.
Skeletal muscle has several distinct fiber types. Type I is used primarily for aerobic activity, whereas type IIb is specialized for short, intense bursts of activity. How could you distinguish between these types of muscle fiber if you viewed them with an electron microscope?
Large muscle fibers that are multinucleated, striated, and voluntary are found in (a) cardiac muscle tissue. (b) skeletal muscle tissue. (c) smooth muscle tissue. (d) a, b, and c are correct.
