SMOOTH MUSCLE – 2
The images show bundles of smooth muscle fibers. The top image is a longitudinal section, and the bottom image is a cross-section of the fibers.
Observe the central position of the nuclei in the fibers of the bottom image. Remember that, as these cross-sections, many sections of fibers may be seen without a nucleu because of the different levels of sectioning of tha fibers.
