What are some characteristics of involuntary muscle tissue?
Can you tell me about some characteristics of involuntary muscle tissue?
Sure! Involuntary muscle tissue is also known as smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. It is not under conscious control and contracts involuntarily in response to stimuli from the autonomic nervous system. Unlike striated muscle, smooth muscle is not arranged in distinct bundles and does not have the characteristic striations.
