Diagram of a tangential section of a smooth adductor muscle cell. sarcoplasmic reticulum but not between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the caveolae. In some vertebrate smooth muscles, the sarcoplasmic reticulum consists of flattened vesicles interconnected with tubules of irregular diameter (Fig. 2 of Devine et al., 1973). The pattern is similar to that observed in the scallop smooth muscle. The scallop smooth adductor muscle like its cross-striated counterpart lacks any surface

Diagram of a tangential section of a smooth adductor muscle cell. sarcoplasmic reticulum but not between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the caveolae. In some vertebrate smooth muscles, the sarcoplasmic reticulum consists of flattened vesicles interconnected with tubules of irregular diameter (Fig. 2 of Devine et al., 1973). The pattern is similar to that observed in the scallop smooth muscle. The scallop smooth adductor muscle like its cross-striated counterpart lacks any surface invaginations. These smooth muscle cells, while larger than the striated muscle cells, contract much more slowly than the striated cells (Prosser, 1973) and thus do not really need surface invaginations. Almost all invertebrate smooth muscle cells lack any surface indentations corresponding to vertebrate smooth muscle.
