In humans smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomous nervous system. Smooth muscle is found in blood vessels, the digestive tract, the iris and skin. These muscles move or contract in response to automatic signals, e.g. the presence of food in the stomach or bright light in the eyes. Cardiac muscle also contracts automatically, controlled by special groups of pacemaker cells in the heart.
