The smooth muscle type found in the walls of digestive and urinary system organs and that exhibits gap junctions and pacemaker cells is (a) multi unit, (b) unitary.
Added by Patrick W.
Step 1
Step 1: Smooth muscle fibers are often found forming sheets of tissue and function in a coordinated fashion due to the presence of gap junctions between the cells. Show more…

Adi S.
Smooth muscle differs from both cardiac and skeletal muscle in that $a$ it can act as a pacemaker for rhythmic contractions. b. contractions of smooth muscle are not due to interactions between neighboring microfilaments. c. neighboring cells are electrically connected by gap junctions. $d$ neighboring cells are tightly coupled by intercalated discs. $e$ the membranes of smooth muscie cells are depolarized by stretching.
The autonomic nervous system is subdivided into: a. afferent and efferent systems. b. sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. c. skeletal and smooth muscle innervations. d. voluntary and involuntary controls. e. peripheral and central systems.
