Overview
Smooth muscle cells are essential for involuntary movements in the body, such as those in the digestive system and blood vessels. They lack striations, making them appear smooth under a microscope. These cells work automatically, allowing organs to function without conscious effort, highlighting their crucial role in maintaining bodily functions.Smooth Muscle Cell
Smooth muscle cells are a type of muscle cell that are found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels. They are responsible for involuntary movements, such as the contractions of the digestive system or blood vessels. Smooth muscle cells have a spindle-shaped appearance and lack the striations found in skeletal muscle cells.
Muscle Cell Nucleus
The nucleus is a specialized organelle that holds a cell's genetic material. It is surrounded by a protective double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which contains small pores for material exchange.
