Smooth Muscle

Molecular classification: Muscle Tissue

Overview

Smooth muscle is one of the three major types of vertebrate muscle tissue. It operates involuntarily and is found throughout the body in the walls of hollow organs, blood vessels, airways, and other structures. It plays critical roles in regulating blood pressure, propelling contents through digestive organs, controlling airway diameter, and adjusting pupil size.
