Electron Microscopic Studies on Smooth Muscle

　Smooth muscle shows some interesting characteristics in its form and function．Under a light microscope, the smooth muscle，as it is named, has no particular pattern．In some animals, however, it shows oblique striations or fibrillar structures．

　The electron microscope reveals the detailed structure in the smooth muscle as well as in the striated muscle．There are many different kinds of structures in the smooth muscle．
