Observe the special preservation of skeletal muscle in this slide. Note also the absence of space between muscle cells. Supplemental Slide 106 Skeletal muscle, human, frozen section. Examine the skeletal muscle of this slide and its histological features. Again, try to resolve mitochondria .
Smooth muscle is shown here in discrete bands beneath the epithelium.
It is also present in the wall of several arteries present. Again observe the difference between the smooth muscle present and the collagen fibers which are also represented. Slide 55 Appendix. Find the smooth muscle in the outer perimeter of this section. It is represented here as two layers, an outer longitudinally oriented layer and an inner circularly arranged layer .
