The development and maintenance of smooth muscle in control and aneurogenic amphibians (Ambystoma).
Ultrastructural investigations showed that development and maintenance of smooth muscle was similar in control and aneurogenic amphibian larvae. This applies to both multi-unit and unitary smooth muscles. The gut musculature displayed a regional variation in smooth muscle morphology and a variety of intermuscular appositions even under conditions of nervelessness.
