SMOOTH MUSCLE – 4
The figure presents a section of smooth muscle fibers seen at a high magnification. Their elongated nuclei have rounded ends, and are cigar-shaped.
When smooth muscle fibers contract some of their nuclei become coiled. These kind images help the recognition of smooth muscle cells in sections. Observe spiral-shaped nuclei in the images.
