Where is a smooth muscle found?

Answer 1

Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and urinary bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary, and they are nonstriated. Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy. In addition, certain smooth muscle fibres, such as those in the uterus, retain their capacity for division and can grow by hyperplasia.

Answer 2

Smooth muscle is found in organs within the digestive tract. They cause peristalsis.

(The digestive tract is part of the digestive system. It is the "track" the food takes) found in two main locations:

1. inside your blood vessel (especially in the arteries)

2. inside the digestive system to help move the food along.
smooth muscle is found within the tunica media layer of large and small arteries and veins, the bladder, uterus, male and female reproductive tracts, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, arrector pili of skin, the ciliary muscle, and iris of the eye
Smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels such as in thetunica media layer of large and small arteries, arterioles, and veins. It is also found in lymphatic vessels, the urinary bladder, uterus, male and female reproductive tracts, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, arrector pili of skin, the ciliary muscle, and iris of the eye.

Answer 3

The smooth muscles basic characteristic is that its actions are involuntary (not controlled by the individual who owns them!). The smooth muscles are found mainly in digestive, respiratory, nervous and circulatory systems like in, blood vessels and large intestines, lungs etc whose action is not in our control. The skeletal muscles are found over the bones which make different joints in our body and the cardiac muscles is the one which is found in the heart to carry out the heart's function. To answer this in brief they are found everywhere other than where the skeletal and cardiac muscles are found.

Answer 4

Smooth muscles are found in the blood and lymphatic vessel walls. The smooth muscles in the blood vessels are also called vascular smooth muscles.

Answer 5

It is found around the heart and blood vessel's.

Answer 6

In sphincters and the lining of the digestive tract. Typically smooth muscle wraps around in a tube shape.
