The type of muscle tissue surrounding internal organs,other than the heart,is
A)skeletal muscle.
B)cardiac muscle.
C)striated muscle.
D)intercalated cells.
E)smooth muscle.

Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle is the type of muscle tissue that surrounds internal organs other than the heart. It is called smooth muscle because it lacks the striations (striped appearance) seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Intercalated cells are found only in cardiac muscle and are responsible for the synchronized contraction of the heart.
