Key result

Electron micrographs of smooth muscle revealed that myofilaments are oriented obliquely to the muscle fiber axis, explaining several physiological properties of its contraction.

Cite This Study

Jack Rosenbluth (1965) studied Smooth muscle contraction. Electron micrograph analysis was evaluated on Ultrastructural organization of myofilaments. Electron micrographs of smooth muscle revealed that myofilaments are oriented obliquely to the muscle fiber axis, explaining several physiological properties of its contraction.
