ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDIES ON THE CONTRACTILE MECHANISM OF SMOOTH MUSCLE
Fresh taenia coli and chicken gizzard smooth muscle were studied in the contracted and relaxed states. Thick and thin filaments were observed in certain (but not all) cells fixed in contraction. Relaxed smooth muscle contained only thin filaments. Several other morphological differences were observ...
