Definition: The 10-year Treasury note is a loan you make to the U.S. government. It is one of the U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, and it's the only one that matures in a decade. The 10-year Treasury note rate is the yield or rate of return, you get for investing in this note. The yield is important because it is the benchmark that guides other interest rates. The major exception is adjustable rate mortgages, which follow the fed funds rate.
Smooth Muscle. Found in walls of most hollow organs(except heart); Usually in two layers (longitudinal and circular); lack coarse connective tissue sheath; smooth muscle fibers SR is less developed then that of skeletal muscle and lacks specific pattern relative to myofilaments (no sacromeres, myofibrils or t tubules). â¢.
Single-unit smooth muscle, commonly called visceral muscle because it is in the walls of all hollow organs except the heart, is far more common. All the smooth muscle characteristics described so far pertain to single-unit smooth muscle.his propulsive action is called peristalsis. Contraction of smooth muscle in the rectum, urinary bladder, and uterus helps those organs expel their contents. Smooth muscle contraction also accounts for the constricted breaking of asthma and for stomach craps.
