Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle fibers and skeletal muscle fibers occur together in the middle part of the esophagus. In this field, compare the size of the fibers and location of the nuclei for these two muscle types. Smooth muscle fibers are much smaller with a single, centrally located nucleus. Skeletal muscle fibers are larger with multiple, peripherally located nuclei. 1000x
