A stylized histological illustration shows a single muscle fiber in a relaxed state. The spindle-shaped cell (smooth muscle cell, SMC) has tapered ends and a central nucleus, and is surrounded by a reticular mesh suggestive of endomysium within the extracellular matrix (ECM). In biological hierarchy, it depicts a cell within smooth muscle tissue of the visceral musculature. In the fields of anatomy, histology, and physiology, SMCs generate involuntary contractions that regulate functions such as peristalsis and vascular tone.
