Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multi-unit smooth muscle is not characterized by any of the options A-D. It consists of individual muscle fibers that operate independently, not in sheets, and is not typically found in the stomach wall, which contains single-unit smooth muscle. It does not contract rhythmically or have gap junctions like single-unit smooth muscle.
