🗑
what does smooth muscle facilitate?   movements in these organs  
🗑
movements in organs such as blood vessels, uterus and bladder is facilitated by what?   smooth muscle  
🗑
why is smooth muscle not under conscious control?   crucial for digestion and vessel regulation  
🗑
describe contractions in smooth muscle   slow and sustained  
🗑
smooth muscle has a what for regeneration   higher capacity  
🗑
smooth muscle has a higher capacity for regeneration which is important for what?   healing and maintaining function

🗑
difference in skeletal and smooth muscle respiration   skeletal and smooth are both aerobic and anaerobic  
🗑
difference in skeletal and smooth muscle in sacromeres   skeletal has sacromeres smooth does not  
🗑
difference in skeletal and smooth muscle stimuli   skeletal has electrical and smooth has hormonal  
🗑
difference in skeletal and smooth muscle innervation   skeletal is innverated smooth muscle is non innervated
