smooth muscle
one whose cells are not striated

smooth muscle is generally involuntary and differs from striated muscle in the much higher actin/myosin ratio, the absence of conspicuous sarcomeres and the ability to contract to a much smaller fraction of its resting length.
smooth muscle
A type of muscle lacking the striations of skeletal and cardiac muscle because of the uniform distribution of myosin filaments in the cell.

smooth muscle Muscle that lacks striations; found around circulatory system vessels and in the walls of such organs as the stomach, intestines, and bladder.
Smooth Muscle
Smooth muscle is made of single, spindle-shaped cells. It gets its name because no striations are visible in them.
Smooth Muscles
Your body contains many muscles which are not under the control of your brain, but rather operate on their own, without instructions. These muscles are called smooth muscles because they appear smoother than other muscles.
Smooth Muscle
Nervous tissues
Nervous tissue is found only in animals beginning with the Cnidaria.
Smooth Muscle (smooth - lacking striations) The stomach, vasculature, and most of the digestive tract are largely composed of smooth muscle. This muscle type is involuntary and is controlled by the enteric nervous system.
Viscoelasticity ...
Smooth muscle fibers, shown in Figure 12, lack the banding, although actin and myosin still occur. These cells function in involuntary movements and/or autonomic responses (such as breathing, secretion, ejaculation, birth, and certain reflexes).

The sympathetic nervous system (Fig. 838) innervates all the smooth muscles and the various glands of the body, and the striated muscle of the heart.
part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates the involuntary activity of glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. It is derived from the vagal and sacral neural crest cells.

[L. ovarium - ovary; Gr. stroma - something laid out to build or lie upon]. The structural framework of the ovary that is formed by connective tissue and smooth muscle.
This neuropeptide system is involved in a diverse set of physiological functions including smooth muscle relaxation, electrolyte secretion, and vasodilation.
