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. 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. Provides support, nourishment, and protection to many neurons that constitute the nervous system These muscles attached to bones to perform voluntary movement and maintenance of posture Classified as either voluntary or involuntary present in the embryo through its development into a fetus Majority of these tissues are found in the brain and spinal cord Consists of loosely arranged fibers that form a network between cells and contain; areolar, adipose, and reticular connective tissue present in the newborn through its development into adulthood and beyond Consists of many thick, tightly packed fibers with very few supporting cells
