Suppose you are asleep and the doorbell rings. You stumble to your feet and move toward the door, open it and speek with your visitor. Think of the many changes occurring in your body as you awaken and respond. How does the three types of muscle tissue help?

Question

I'm having difficulty with the smooth muscle response could you please help and thanks so much.

Answer 1

Smooth muscle tissue helps to control the involuntary movements of the body, such as the contraction of the blood vessels, the movement of food through the digestive tract, and the contraction of the airways in the lungs. In this case, smooth muscle tissue helps to regulate the body's response to the doorbell ringing, such as increasing heart rate, dilating the pupils, and increasing respiration.
