Resource summary
Smooth muscle
They are also called viseral muscles
They are arranged in a longitudinal and a circular form
Ex: esophagus, bronchioles, uterus
Smooth muscle cells do not contain sarcomere
Also these cells lack troponine
In skeletical muscle, this were a juntion point
They contain a lot of actine and little miosine
Thin filaments are very long
Miosine proteins stack vertically
Contraction
It is caused by an increase in the concentration of Ca2+
phosporilation is very important to unite the actine and carry on with the contraction
Depolarization in these mucle cells can be graduated
Depolarization does not produce action potentials
Depolarization occurs from one cell to the other
The more depolarization there is, the stronger the contraction will be
This is due to more calcium entering the cell
Relaxation
Ca2+ channels are closed
Glamoduline is separated from MLCK
Energy pulse is stopped by the bridge
