Smooth muscle

This smooth muscle is cut in cross and longitudinal section. In the cross sections, diameters of profiles vary, indicative of the spindle shape of the fibers. In addition, since the nucleus is located midway along the fiber, most cross sections will not pass through the nucleus. A ganglion with autonomic neurons is also visible between the two layers. 1000x
