Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart. Smooth muscle is involuntary and under autonomic control, while cardiac muscle is also involuntary but has its own specialized conduction system.

Smooth muscle contracts slowly and rhythmically, while cardiac muscle contracts quickly and continuously.
