In cross-section, they tend to be less circular than skeletal muscle fibers. Cells are branched and tightly joined to each other by specialized junctions known as intercalated discs. Majority of these tissues are found in the brain and spinal cord Can be found in Blood vessel walls. Iris of the eye. Airways to the lungs. Walls of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and female uterus. Avascular with no blood vessels entering between cells These muscles attached to bones to perform voluntary movement and maintenance of posture present in the newborn through its development into adulthood and beyond present in the embryo through its development into a fetus Consists of many thick, tightly packed fibers with very few supporting cells
