Circular Muscles are found at the openings of the body
Sphincters (circular muscles)
Myoma is a tumor usually found in involuntary muscles (i.e., uterine fibroids).
When the circular muscles of an earthworm contract, the segments of its body become thinner and longer, causing the earthworm to elongate and appear stretched out.
Circular muscles help in extension and narrowing of the body of the earthworm. When circular muscles contract the protractor muscles relax causing the retractor muscles to contract, thus withdrawing the setae.

The longitudinal and circular muscles are antagonistic. This means that they are paired and while one contracts, the other relaxes.
