- This kind of muscle is found only in the heart and in the tunica media of the terminal parts of the venae cavae as they enter the heart. The layer of the heart consisting of cardiac muscle is called the myocardium. Its inner surface of the myocardium is lined with endocardium, and the outer surface with epicardium.

- These myofilaments are arranged in muscles in two different ways to provide contractility with different capabilities. Smooth muscle is found in walls of hollow organs and blood vessels where contractility and stretch are both specific needs. Think of the bladder or the uterus of a pregnant female.To accommodate substantial stretch and still retain contractility, actin and myosin myofilaments are arranged randomly in smooth muscle.mooth muscle is found in walls of hollow organs and blood vessels where contractility and stretch are both specific needs. Think of the bladder or the uterus of a pregnant female.

- By the end of this section, you will be able to: * Describe intercalated discs and gap junctions * Describe a desmosome. Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart. Highly coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle pump blood into the vessels of the circulatory system.

Cardiac Muscle Tissue In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance.

- Smooth muscle is also sometimes known as Involuntary muscle due to our inability to control its movements, or Unstriated as it does not have the stripy appearance of Skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the Stomach, Oesophagus, Bronchi and in the walls of blood vessels.

What are Pacemaker Cells? Striated involuntary muscles are found in the heart, while smooth involuntary tissue can be found in several organs, including the brain, blood vessels, and the digestive system. Pacemaker cells have a specialized cell membrane that allows sodium and potassium to cross and trigger their electrical impulses.

- Medical Definition of Smooth muscle. Smooth muscle: Along with skeletal and cardiac muscle, one of the types of muscle tissue in the body. Smooth muscle generally forms the supporting tissue of blood vessels and hollow internal organs, such as the stomach, intestine, and bladder. It is considered smooth because it does not have the microscopic lines (the striations) seen in the other two types of muscle.

70 10.8 Smooth Muscle Single-unit smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs; multiunit smooth muscle is found in airways to the lungs and large arteries. Single-unit smooth muscle cells contract synchronously, they are coupled by gap junctions, and they exhibit spontaneous action potential.

Muscle tissue Cardiac muscle is involuntary, striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in the process of myogenesis.

MUSCLE The noun SMOOTH MUSCLE has 2 senses: 1. a muscle that contracts without conscious control and found in walls of internal organs such as stomach and intestine and bladder and blood vessels (excluding the heart). 2. muscle tissue that does not appear striated under the microscope; has the form of thin layers or sheets.Familiarity information: SMOOTH MUSCLE used as a noun is rare.. muscle tissue that does not appear striated under the microscope; has the form of thin layers or sheets.

- 1 Smooth muscle, neither striated in structure nor under voluntary control, is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, and the arrector pili in the skin (in which it controls erection of body hair).uscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract.

However this type of muscle is highly specialised.

Muscle tissue An isolated cardiac muscle cell, beating. Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is involuntary striated muscle that is found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium.Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle.oordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex mechanism illustrates systole of the heart.

Smooth Muscle - Development and Stem Cells In contrast, in multiunit smooth muscles (e.g., iris), individual cells are innervated, to allow fine control and gradual response. Smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels (i.e., vascular smooth muscle) of large (i.e., aorta and pulmonary trunk) and small arteries, arterioles and veins.t was also shown that at postnatal and adult stages, stem cells from specific niches can contribute to normal and damaged smooth muscle tissue. As such, molecular signatures of the different smooth muscle cell origins are unique and respond rather differently to the same secreted cues.

Muscle 1 Smooth muscle or involuntary muscle is found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, and the arrector pili in the skin (in which it controls erection of body hair).uscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell.

Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle Tissue Cardiac muscle is specialized tissue that is found only in the heart. It has characteristics similar to both smooth and skeletal muscle tissue, as well as specialized properties, that allow it to function with fast but sustained contractions, rapid conduction and coordinated movement.

What is the difference between striated and smooth muscle tissue? The major difference, I mean? Best Answer: Smooth muscles are found exclusively in blood vessels and most hollow organs such as the uterus, bladder and the digestive tract. They contain one nucleus per cell and lack the typical arrangement of sarcomeres found in skeletal and cardiac muscles. This gives it it’s smooth appearance. Striated muscles include the skeletal and cardiac muscles. Skeletal muscle attaches to skeletons and is in charge of movements. Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart and contain multiple nuclei and sarcomeres that lead to its striated appearance.

Types of Muscle Tissue: Skeletal, Cardiac & Smooth Let's first compare muscle tissue based on what you would see under a microscope; that is, its histology. Both cardiac and skeletal muscle are termed striated muscle as they have striations that run across their muscle fibers. In contrast, smooth muscle is not striated, and it's, well, smooth.ardiac muscle is found in our heart, and smooth muscle is found in our visceral, or hollow, organs-for example, blood vessels and intestines. All muscles contract as a result of interaction between special proteins within the myocytes.

Anatomy and physiology of soft tissue There are 3 types of muscle tissue: smooth, skeletal and cardiac. Each type of muscle does different things. Smooth muscle is also called visceral muscle. It is found in the walls of the body’s hollow organs, such as the stomach, intestines, bladder, uterus and blood vessels.Smooth muscle allows organs to relax and get bigger (expand) or tighten and get smaller (contract).oft tissue is found all over the body. It includes tissues that connect, support or surround other structures and organs in the body. Types of soft tissue include: 1  fat. 2  muscle. 3  fibrous tissue (tendons and ligaments). 4  synovial tissue (in joints). 5  blood vessels. 6  lymph vessels.
