What are Smooth muscles?

Because it lacks sarcomeres and as a result, striations, smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle (bands or stripes). Its two subgroups are single-unit smooth muscle and multi-unit smooth muscle. A syncytium is the collective contraction of the sheet or bundle of smooth muscle cells that make up a single-unit muscle.

Smooth muscle makes up the walls of hollow organs including the stomach, intestines, bladder, and uterus as well as the blood and lymphatic vessels, as well as the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. The ciliary muscle, a type of smooth muscle present in the eyes, changes the shape of the lens by dilation and contraction of the iris.

6. What are proglottids? What is the scolex?
Nataliya [291]

Explanation:

Proglottids are segments in cestodes that contain bot the male and female reproductive organs. These segments go ahead to make eggs and then dettach form the worm. They are excreted and become agents of infection on the next hoist. Proglittids formed near the neck of the worm are immature while those at the tail end are literally bags of mature eggs.

The scolex is the head of the worm that is attached to the host. It is also the part that ‘sucks’ nutrients from the host. It has hooks that it uses to anchor itself in the host. In some species, rather than hooks, there are suction-cups that use suction for anchorage.
