Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason that the smooth muscle of the eye is multiunit smooth muscle and the smooth muscle in the wall of digestive organs is single unit smooth muscle.

Concept introduction:

Smooth muscle is classified into two groups based on whether the smooth muscle fibers are either stimulated to contract as one unit or independently. Multicellular smooth muscle cells receive stimulation to contract independently whereas contraction in the single unit smooth muscle cells is in a syncytium.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Explain why smooth muscle of the eye is multiunit smooth muscle and the smooth muscle in the wall of digestive organs is single-unit smooth muscle.
Compare the inner layer of smooth muscle with circumferentially running muscle cells,to the outer layer of longitudinally running fibres that have been sectioned transversely, which layer is easy to distinguish
Why would skeletal muscle be unsuitable for the wall of the urinary bladder? Explain how this illustrates the complementarity of form and function at a cellular and molecular level.
