Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gastrointestinal tract. Cardiovascular-blood vessel and lymphatic vessels. Renal-urinary bladder. Genital-uterus, both male and female reproductive tracts. Respiratory tract. Integument-erector pili of the skin. More items

Detailed explanation-2: -Layers of Stomach Wall The three layers of smooth muscle consist of the outer longitudinal, the middle circular, and the inner oblique muscles. Construction of these muscles helps mix and break the contents into a suspension of nutrients called chyme and propels it into the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-3: -3.1 Overview. Vascular smooth muscle is found in arteries, arterioles, veins, and lymphatic vessels. The contractile state of VSMC establishes the diameter of these vessels and thus resistance to flow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Smooth muscle, found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus, is under control of the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle cannot be controlled consciously and thus acts involuntarily.

Detailed explanation-5: -Smooth muscle cells are the most abundant cell type in blood vessel walls. They occur in all vessels except capillaries and pericytic venules. In the media of blood vessels, SMCs are intermingled with elastic lamellae and laminae and appear as concentric, helically arranged bundles.
