Smooth muscle tissue

MUSCLE TISSUE: Muscle tissue is important for movement and is highly vascular to meet its energy demands. They are highly excitable cells specialized for contraction. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth and, cardiac. Refer to individual pictures for detailed descriptions.

Cardiac muscle tissue is striated, branched, and has 1-2 nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue can be recognized by intercalated disks (dark thickened part). Electrical signals at these junctions allow a wave of excitation from cell to cell, aiding in the function of the heart (see chapter 19 for more details). Cardiac muscle cells, commonly called myocytes or cardiomyocytes, are bigger than smooth muscle cells and smaller than skeletal muscle cells. They control involuntary movement (the heart).

There are 3 types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. In this video and article compilation, I’m going to discuss all three types of muscle tissue. Skeletal Mu…
