Peristalsis is a voluntary movement of muscles in a tube.

The central nervous system has no influence on smooth muscle contractions.

Smooth muscle cells have a similar structure to skeletal muscle cells.

Cardiac muscle cells typically have multiple nuclei.

Cardiac muscle forms simple networks around chambers of the heart.
