Instructions: Write the function and give an example of each type of muscle in the
table and answer the questions below.

 Smooth muscle in the lungs helps the airways to
expand and contract as necessary.  Ciliary muscle
 During exercise or exertion, smooth muscles in
the bronchi relax and dilate.  Sphincter
 Trachea
Reproductive Smooth Muscle Functions
 During menstruation, smooth muscle in the  Bile duct
uterus contracts to expel the uterine lining.
 Smooth muscle helps sperm to move along the
male reproductive tract.
 To prevent urination during ejaculation by men,
the sphincter muscle constricts.
 The tunica dartos is a smooth muscle that
contracts or expands to regulate temperature of
the testicles.
 The smooth muscle in the uterus helps a woman
to push out her baby.
 Smooth muscle cells in the ovaries contract
when a woman ovulates.

 Cardiac muscle tissue works to keep your heart

pumping through involuntary movements. This is
one feature that differentiates it from skeletal
muscle tissue, which you can control.

 It does this through specialized cells called

pacemaker cells. These control the contractions
of your heart. Your nervous system sends
Cardiac  Heart
signals to pacemaker cells that prompt them to
either speed up or slow down your heart rate.

 Your pacemaker cells are connected to other

cardiac muscle cells, allowing them to pass
along signals. This results in a wave of
contractions of your cardiac muscle, which
creates your heartbeat.
