GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth muscle is present throughout the body, where it serves a variety of functions. It is in the stomach and intestines, where it helps with digestion and nutrient collection. It exists throughout the urinary system, where it functions to help rid the body of toxins and works in electrolyte balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, including the stomach, intestines, bladder and uterus. In the walls of blood vessels, and lymph vessels, (excluding blood and lymph capillaries) it is known as vascular smooth muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Only skeletal and smooth muscles are considered part of the musculoskeletal system. Skeletal muscle is involved in body locomotion. Examples of smooth muscles include those found in intestinal and vessel walls. Cardiac and smooth muscle are characterized by involuntary movement (not under conscious control).

Detailed explanation-4: -Smooth muscle lines many parts of the circulatory system, digestive system, and is even responsible for raising the hairs on your arm. In the circulatory system, smooth muscle plays a vital role in maintaining and controlling the blood pressure and flow of oxygen throughout the body.
