Q

The CONTRACTION OF SMOOTH MUSCLE within the walls of internal organs and vessels causes those structures to constrict. This constriction can help propel and mix food and water in the digestive tract; remove materials from organs, such as the urinary bladder or sweat glands; and regulate blood flow through vessels.

Q

is the ability of muscle to RECOIL to its original resting length after it has been stretched. Taking a deep breath demonstrates ELASTICITY because exhalation is simply the ­ recoil of your respiratory muscles back to the resting position, similar to releasing a stretched rubberband.
