Lindsey Vonnâs road to her final Olympics has encountered some trouble. The American skiing star was treated for a back injury after completing her World Cup Super-G race in St. Moritz, Switzerland on Saturday.
They found that smooth muscle cells on precapillary arterioles clamped down on vessels in response, blocking the flow of red blood cells to downstream tissues. In many cases, the vessels remained constricted after the researchers removed the ligature and restored arterial blood flow.hey concluded that flow is exclusively controlled by smooth muscle cells surrounding the larger arterioles, which make up less than 10 percent of the brainâs blood vessels. These cells also regulated blood flow increases in response to brain activity, which form the basis for functional MRI.
C. Smooth muscle - this muscle is not striated and is found in the walls of the visceral organs. Mononucleate cells. In addition to contraction, smooth muscle cells synthesize collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans (like fibroblasts).
