Smooth Muscle - OpenStax CNX
... Multiunit smooth muscle cells rarely possess gap junctions, and thus are not electrically coupled. As a result, contraction does not spread from one cell to the next, but is instead conned to the cell that was originally stimulated. Stimuli for multiunit smooth muscles come from autonomic nerves or ...
