Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The difference between the smooth muscle cells and skeletal muscle fibers in terms of the electrical properties.

Introduction:

The smooth muscle cells are smaller than the skeletal muscle fibers. These cells have the typical characteristic of the absence of striations, unlike the other muscle cells. The myosin and actin filament arrangement are like a stack in the structure of a smooth muscle cell.
