Biology

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

Answer:

The correct answer is cells in the damaged parts divide and produce more cell by undergoing mitosis.

Mitosis is a process by which total number of chromosomes of parental cell is distributed equally within the 2 newly formed daughter cells.As a result the each daughter cell has same number of chromosome with respect to that of parental cell.

    Mitosis also helps in wound healing by replacing the damaged cells with newly formed cells by cell division.
