Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the cardiovascular system, smooth muscle is used in vessels to maintain blood pressure and flow, in the lungs it opens and closes airways, in the gastrointestinal system it plays a role in motility and nutrition collection, and yet it still serves a purpose in almost every other organ system as well.
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary function of smooth muscle is contraction. Smooth muscle consists of two types: single-unit and multi-unit. Single-unit smooth muscle consists of multiple cells connected through connexins that can become stimulated in a synchronous pattern from only one synaptic input.
Detailed explanation-4: -In heart, vascular smooth muscle is a type of smooth muscle that contracts and regulates blood vessel tone, blood pressure and blood flow (Rzucidlo et al., 2007), which are integral to the function of heart.
Detailed explanation-5: -’ That is: vascular smooth muscle contracts, blood vessels become narrower and less blood flows through them. This process is called ‘vasoconstriction. ‘
