All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 105 10.10e Functional Categories of Smooth Muscle 2 Single-unit (visceral) smooth muscle Most common type Stimulated to contract in unison as cells linked by gap junctions Form two or three sheets in wall of hollow organ Locations include Walls of digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts Portions of respiratory tract Most blood vessels Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 106 10.10e Functional Categories of Smooth Muscle 3 Stimulation of single-unit smooth muscle Occurs through varicosities—swellings of autonomic neurons Varicosities contain synaptic vessels with one type of neurotransmitter Either ACh or norepinephrine Receptors scattered across the sarcolemma Diffuse junctions Numerous smooth muscle cells stimulated simultaneously Stimulation spread from cell to cell via gap junctions so contraction is synchronous Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.
