which wall of the uterus is made of smooth muscle?
avascular cartilage
the excitation-contraction coupling of uterine smooth muscle is also very similar to that of other smooth muscle in general, with intracellular increase in calcium (ca) leading to contraction. however, the stimulating factors for uterine smooth muscle differs from other types of muscles in the body.









































section::::function.:restoration to resting state.









































removal of ca after contraction induces relaxation of the smooth muscle, and restores the molecular structure of the sarcoplasmic reticulum for the next contractile stimulus.









































section::::clinical significance.

smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels (such smooth muscle specifically being termed vascular smooth muscle) such as in the tunica media layer of large (aorta) and small arteries, arterioles and veins. smooth muscle is also found in lymphatic vessels, the urinary bladder, uterus (termed uterine smooth muscle), male and female reproductive tracts, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, arrector pili of skin, the ciliary muscle, and iris of the eye. the structure and function is basically the same in smooth muscle cells in different organs, but the inducing stimuli differ substantially, in order to perform individual effects in the body at individual times. in addition, the glomeruli of the kidneys contain smooth muscle-like cells called mesangial cells.
