SMOOTH MUSCLE 
· Upon the basis of light microscopic structure , 
the smooth muscle is classified into: 
Non –striated muscle cells, which do not show 
cross-striations of alternating light and dark bands. 
· They are involuntary. 
· Also called as visceral muscles. 
SHAPE OF SMOOTH MUSCLE 
· The smooth muscle fibers (cells) are fusiform in 
shape (i.e. tapering at both ends).
SIZE OF SMOOTH MUSCLE 
· The average greatest diameter of a smooth 
muscle fiber is about 6mm. 
· However, the length of the smooth muscle fibers 
is highly variable in different locations , like in 
the walls of small blood vessels it is about 20mm 
and in the walls of the intestine it is about 
200mm. 
· Longest smooth muscle fibers are found in the 
walls of pregnant uterus where they may reach a 
length of 500mm. 
· The smooth muscles fibers are usually arranged 
in the form of sheet or bands. 
SARCOLEMMA: The cell membrane of each 
smooth muscle fiber is called sarcolemma. 
NUCLEUS: Each smooth muscle cell contains a 
single rod-shape nucleus, which is located in the 
central thick portion.
SARCOPLASM: 
· The cytoplasm of the soomth muscle fiber is 
known as sarcoplasm. 
· The sarcoplasm of the smooth muscle cell 
contains a contractile apparatus of thick and thin 
filaments. 
CONTRACTILE APARATUS: 
It enables the smooth muscles to undergo shortening 
as and when require. 
Thin filament and thick filaments: 
Composed of protein called ACTIN and MYOSIN //. 
· The sarcoplasm contains: 
Mitochondria 
A few elements of rough endoplasmic reticulum 
Some free ribosome’s 
A small golgi apparatus & 
Some glycogen granules. 
NERVE SUPPLY OF SMOOTH 
MUSCLE 
· The smooth muscle is supplied by the 
sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of 
autonomic nervous system. 
· All the nerve fibers are postganglionic.
FUNCTIONS OF SMOOTH 
MUSCLE 
· The smooth muscle in the uterus helps women 
to push out her baby. 
· In the bladder, to push out urine. 
· Smooth muscle determines the flow of blood 
in the arteries. 
· Also help to move food through the digestive 
track. 
· And regulates air flow in lungs.
