Exclusively breastfed babies do not require additional water even when it is very hot outside, as long as baby is allowed to nurse as needed. Even in extremely hot, dry weather your baby can get all the liquids needed via breastmilk.
Smooth muscles contract very slowly, whereas skeletal muscles can contract at different rates. Skeletal muscles can be composed of fast-contracting fibers, slow-contracting fibers or a mixture of both.
Smooth muscles are of two major types known as single unit, aka unitary, smooth muscles and multi-unit smooth muscles. The single unit smooth muscles contract and relax together, as the nerve impulse excites only one muscle cell, and that is passed on to other cells through gap junctions. Smooth muscles are found in inner organs while cardiac muscles are found only in the heart. â¢ Cardiac muscles are striated, but smooth muscles are non-striated. â¢ Each cardiac muscle cell has one or more nuclei, but the smooth muscle cells are single nucleated.
