For muscles to contract there needs to be an adequate supply of ATP within the cell. ATP is generated in part by a supply of glucose and oxidative phosphorylation. An inadequate supply of blood will not provide enough oxygen to keep up with the energy demands of contraction.

The uterus is a muscle. During menses it contracts to expel the uterine lining and menstrual blood. This is a mild from of the contraction it does to push out a baby.

Contraction of the smooth muscle in arterioles would decrease blood pressure?

Contraction of smooth muscle in arterioles would lead to vasoconstriction, which would increase resistance to blood flow and subsequently increase blood pressure. Conversely, relaxation of smooth muscle in arterioles (vasodilation) would decrease resistance and lower blood pressure.

Why is the direction of the wave of contraction so important in the heart?

The direction of the wave of contraction in the heart is important because it decides where the blood reflux will take place. The blood reflux could take place in the atria, or the blood from the heart could be ejected into the pulmonary artery or aorta.
