If vomiting episodes are triggered by stress or excitement, try during a symptom-free interval to find ways to reduce stress and stay calm. Eating three small meals and three snacks daily, instead of three large meals, also may help.
Smooth muscle is fundamentally different from skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle in terms of structure, function, regulation of contraction, and excitation-contraction coupling. Smooth muscle cells known as myocytes, have a fusiform shape and, like striated muscle, can tense and relax. However, smooth muscle tissue tends to demonstrate greater elasticity and function within a larger length-tension curve than striated muscle.
In multi-unit smooth muscle, the smooth muscle cells in an organ all behave independently-each cell contracts and relaxes on its own. Histologically, multi-unit smooth muscle has many fewer gap junctions than other types of smooth muscle.n multi-unit smooth muscle, the smooth muscle cells in an organ all behave independently-each cell contracts and relaxes on its own.
