Muscles are made up of "excitable cells" which can contract. Visceral muscle is smooth muscle--one of three types of muscles in the body. Visceral muscle is found in the body in places like the arteries, bladder, the digestive tract and many other muscles which need to contract in order to perform their job.

Visceral muscle, is found in various parts of the body such as the arteries, the bladder, the digestive tract, as well as in many other organs. Visceral muscle is also called smooth muscle because it doesn't have cross striations.
