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.
Types of Muscles. Our bodies have three kinds of muscles. The smooth muscles, the cardiac muscles and the voluntary muscles. Each of these three muscle types have a specific job to do and each of them look entirely different under microscopes.The smooth muscles are the ones that are responsible for parts of the body like the digestive system, the blood vessels, and the kidneys.You have no conscious control of the smooth muscles or the jobs that they do. Our nervous system controls the smooth muscles. We don't control the cardiac muscles either.ach of these three muscle types have a specific job to do and each of them look entirely different under microscopes.
