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?
Compared to skeletal muscle, smooth-muscle cells are small. They are spindle-shaped, about 50 to 200 microns long and only 2 to 10 microns in diameter. They have no striations or sarcomeres. Instead, they have bundles of thin and thick filaments (as opposed to well-developed bands) that correspond to myofibrils.
