Mastering Smooth Muscle Contraction

Cardiac muscles are thick filament regulated while smooth muscles are thin filament regulated

Both cardiac and smooth muscles are thick filament regulated

Cardiac muscles are thin filament regulated while smooth muscles are thick filament regulated (correct)

Both cardiac and smooth muscles are thin filament regulated

They are found in hollow organs

They can remain contracted for extended periods with low energy consumption

They have the inherent ability to generate rhythmic action potentials without external stimuli (correct)

They can contract in response to electrical or hormonal signals

Smooth muscles are found in hollow organs (correct)

Smooth muscles have the inherent ability to generate rhythmic action potentials without external stimuli

Smooth muscles are typically mononucleated or binucleated

Smooth muscles contain more connective tissue than skeletal muscle
