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

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

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.

the oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. this blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. from the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.

deoxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. from the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve), into the right ventricle.
