Smooth muscle

A longitudinal section of smooth muscle shows non-striated, tapering fibers interlaced to form a highly compact tissue.  The nuclei of smooth muscle fibers are euchromatic, centrally located and oval shaped.  A region of dense irregular connective tissue is present in the lower left portion of the field.  1000x
