Types of Muscle Tissue ... Smooth muscle tissue is made up of thin-elongated muscle cells, fibres. These fibres are pointed at their ends and each has a single, large, oval nucleus. Each cell is filled with a specialised cytoplasm, the sarcoplasm and is surrounded by a thin cell membrane, the sarcolemma.
