The thtee types of muscle tissue in the body are skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and smooth muscle tissue. Which type of muscle tissue has small, tapering cells with single nuclei and no obvious striations? Muscle tissue containing small, tapering cells with single nuclei and no obvious striations is smooth muscle tissue. Irregularly shaped cells with many fibrous projections, some several centimeters long, are probably which type of cell?
Smooth muscle fibers (cells) are tapered at each end and have a single, central nucleus. The cells appear smooth under the microscope because they do not contain the visible bands, or striations, that are seen in the other types of muscle cells. Smooth muscle may contract in response to a nerve impulse, hormonal stimulation, stretching, and other stimuli.
