Question:

Talk about the innervation of smooth muscle cells. (multi unit)

Author: H K



Answer:

- Multi-unit smooth muscles: They are composed of discrete distinct muscle fibers that operate independently of each other. Gap junctions are rare and the fibers are stimulated by their own separate motor nerve endings each. Contraction of these muscles is tonic and rapid because stimulation leads to independent contraction of every fiber.
