The thtee types of muscle tissue in the body are skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and smooth muscle tissue. Which type of muscle tissue has small, tapering cells with single nuclei and no obvious striations? Muscle tissue containing small, tapering cells with single nuclei and no obvious striations is smooth muscle tissue. Irregularly shaped cells with many fibrous projections, some several centimeters long, are probably which type of cell?
Smooth muscle is the only muscle of this type and without striations, other less obvious characteristics are used to identify this tissue. Before we examine smooth muscle in longitudinal or cross-section, it might be worth our while to determine why some myofibers are striated while others are not.
