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 present in the embryo through its development into a fetus 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. Classified as either voluntary or involuntary Consists of many thick, tightly packed fibers with very few supporting cells Avascular with no blood vessels entering between cells present in the newborn through its development into adulthood and beyond Provides support, nourishment, and protection to many neurons that constitute the nervous system
