Smooth muscle

Vedclass · Answer

(C) syncytium is a single cell or cytoplasmic mass containing several nuclei,formed by fusion of cells or by division of nuclei. $1$. Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated (syncytial) because they are formed by the fusion of many myoblasts. $2$. Cardiac muscle fibers are branched and connected by intercalated discs,which allow them to function as a functional syncytium. $3$. Smooth muscle cells are uninucleated and do not form a syncytium. $4$. Therefore,smooth muscle is not syncytial.
