(Redirected from Smooth muscle) Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. It is divided into two subgroups; the single-unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit cells, the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium.

They can be regarded as motors of human body because they provide all the force necessary to perform different types of movements. Whether it is the locomotion of body as a whole or just motion of its parts, its all because of muscles. Types of muscles: Muscles are of three types; skeletal, smooth and cardiac.

Cardiac muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is only located in the walls of your heart. Because your hearts beats more than 100,000 times and pumps 7,200 liters of blood a day, cardiac muscle is designed to be highly resistant to fatigue and deliver consistent movements.

Muscle is a bundle of tissue that is capable of contracting. The primary functions of muscles are to generate force and cause motions. Your body has more than 600 different types of muscles. Muscles also contribute to 40 to 50 percent of your weight.

Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) This type of muscle is found solely in the walls of the heart. It has similarities with skeletal muscles in that it is striated and with smooth muscles in that its contractions are not under conscious control. However this type of muscle is highly specialised.

Smooth muscle is found in your hollow organs and blood vessels. Like cardiac muscle, smooth muscle cannot be controlled consciously. Its actions are automatically controlled by your brain. Although smooth muscle is not able to contract as fast as skeletal muscle, it is designed to be very elastic.

Smooth muscle is also sometimes known as Involuntary muscle due to our inability to control its movements, or Unstriated as it does not have the stripy appearance of Skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the Stomach, Oesophagus, Bronchi and in the walls of blood vessels.

The term “muscle” is derived from Latin word “Musculus” diminutive of “mus” meaning mouse. They were named so because their belly resembles body of the mouse and their tendons resemble mouse’s tail. Muscles are contractile tissues that bring about movements of different body parts.
