What role does smooth muscle play in the body?

Answer 1

Smooth muscle tissues found in blood vessels and various body organs produces involuntary movement essential for normal function.

Involuntary contractions in the stomach and intestines aid in digestion and in moving the food along the digestive tract. Smooth muscles found in these regions help to aid in and process food.

To assist in the movement of blood throughout the circulatory system and to control blood pressure, the smooth muscles in the arteries contract and relax.

Smooth muscle provides involuntary movement and control over a number of internal organs and structures in the body. It also helps the bladder contract during urination, controls the passage of food through the digestive tract, regulates blood vessel diameter, and makes it easier for the pupils in the eyes to dilate and constrict.
