    • one circular layer.
    • one longitudinal layer.
  • look at the tissue close to the border between the two layers of smooth muscle, you will be able to see both longitudinally sectioned smooth muscle cells and transversely sectioned smooth muscle cells.
  • smooth muscle cells are much longer than their nuclei.
