Which of the following is not a function of smooth muscle tissue? forcing blood from the heart into the major arteries forcing urine out of the urinary tract moving food materials along the digestive tract elevating hairs on the arm altering the diameter of the respiratory passageways

Answer 1

The correct answer is-forcing blood from the heart into the major arteries

Step-by-step explanation:

Heart is not made up of smooth muscles rather it is mainly made up of a specialized type of muscle called cardiac muscle which helps in the contraction of heath that results in the forcing blood from the heart into the major arteries.

Cardiac muscle is straited muscle but smooth muscle is not straited muscle. These smooth muscles are mainly present in the organs which have hollow walls like urinary tract, digestive tract, blood vessels, etc.

Therefore forcing blood from the heart into the major arteries is not a function of smooth muscle tissue.
