Smooth muscle tissue has longitudinally and circularly arranged layers.
Smooth muscle makes up your intestines but Cardiac muscle makes up your arteries.
Smooth muscle is found in hollow visceral organs, like the stomach, intestines, uterus, bladder, and blood vessels/arteries. (Smooth muscle doesn't apply to the heart though, that's cardiac muscle)
The main muscle in the bladder is called the Detrusor muscle (which is a smooth muscle). it is circular.
Smooth muscle is found in all hollow tubes or organs except the heart.
Smooth muscle is involuntary tissue. It is not controlled by the brain. Smooth muscle forms the muscle layers in the walls of organs such as the lower part of the esophagus, stomach and intestines.
There is a bilayer of muscles in the intestines called the muscularis externa. There is an inner circular layer and outer longitudinal layer. These two layers are responsible for the slow regular propulsion of food called peristalsis.
smooth muscle
Your intestines contain a medial layer of smooth muscle. When the smooth muscle in your intestines is innervated this causes contractions of those smooth muscles. This action then propels food through the intestines. This is called peristalsis. So, as far as I know there are no other muscle groups that aide in digestions. There are however, a plethora of chemicals and enzymes that assist in the digestive process.
Outer = longitudinal smooth muscle Middle= circular smooth muscle Innermost= longitudinal smooth muscle
The smooth muscle found in the muscularis layer of the intestines is found in layers.
The smooth muscle sphincter at the base of the urinary bladder closes.
