The Contractile Apparatus of Smooth Muscle
1980Publisher Summary This chapter describes the architecture of the contractile apparatus. Smooth muscle cells, when isolated, are generally spindle-like in shape with tapered ends and possess a centrally placed, elongated nucleus. In vivo, where the cells occur in bundles and overlapping layers, they adapt themselves to the contours of the tissue; in

Muscles of inner organs of vertebrates, such as gut, uterus, bronchial tree and blood vessels, are termed “smooth muscles” as they lack ordinary striations. Smooth muscles may be spontaneously active, or they may contract in response to nervous or hormonal stimulation.

Smooth Musculature. Smooth Muscle Cells
1985This three-dimensional figure illustrates the plane of contact between the longitudinally and circularly coursing muscle layers of the tunica muscularis of the intestine. In addition to the nuclei (1) and endoplasm (2) with its organelles, the muscle cells can be seen to contain longitudinally oriented microfilaments (3), dense bodies (4), a peripheral
