Smooth muscle makes up your intestines but Cardiac muscle makes up your arteries.
Smooth muscle is found in all hollow tubes or organs except the heart.
Smooth muscle in the human body is responsible for involuntary movements, such as the contraction and relaxation of organs like the intestines, blood vessels, and bladder.

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)

Smooth muscle cells lack striations and are characterized by their non-striped appearance. They are found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder. Smooth muscle is involuntary, meaning it operates without conscious control, and is responsible for various functions like peristalsis and regulating blood flow.
The type of muscle tissue that is involuntary, non-striated, and has tapered cells is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is found in various organs, such as the intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder, where it helps facilitate involuntary movements like digestion and regulation of blood flow. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have the striations caused by organized sarcomeres.
There two lymphatic blood vessels on either side of the urinary bladder in pigs. These blood vessels supply blood to the bladder and urethra.
Your blood vessels intestines bladder and other involuntarily controlled muscles are smooth muscles
In visceral organs: for example, the stomach, urinary bladder, small intestines. Smooth muscle cells are also found in arteries and arterioles
Smooth muscle cells are found in various types of organisms, including humans and other animals. They are primarily located in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines, blood vessels, bladder, and uterus. Smooth muscle is involuntary, meaning it operates without conscious control, facilitating functions like digestion and blood circulation.
The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
