Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth muscle is found 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 is found throughout the urinary system where it functions to help rid the body of toxins and works in electrolyte balance.
Detailed explanation-3: -In order to reduce blood flow to these organs, our bodies simply do the opposite of ‘vasodilatation. ‘ That is: vascular smooth muscle contracts, blood vessels become narrower and less blood flows through them. This process is called ‘vasoconstriction.
Detailed explanation-4: -In heart, vascular smooth muscle is a type of smooth muscle that contracts and regulates blood vessel tone, blood pressure and blood flow (Rzucidlo et al., 2007), which are integral to the function of heart.
