There are several things that are found in the walls of the stomach uterus and arteries. The smooth muscle is one of elements that are found in these organs.
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
Cardiac muscle fibers.
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.
Arteries are made of 3 distinct layers. A intimia, media and adventitia layer. The media layer is the one that contains all the muscular fibres as well as elastin. In elastic arteries the media is made from a lot of elastin and not much smooth muscle. These are generally found near the heart (such as ascending aorta) because they need to be able to expand with the large pressure being pumped from the LV. Muscular arteries however have a lot of smooth muscle and not much elastin. These are found away from the heart in areas such as limbs.
Smooth
There are several things that are found in the walls of the stomach uterus and arteries. The smooth muscle is one of elements that are found in these organs.
smooth muscle
Many things, including arteries, stomach, intestines, and uterus.
The type of muscle described is smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is involuntary, has single-ovoid nuclei, and contains slow-twitch fibers with spindle-shaped cells. It is found in organs such as the digestive tract and blood vessels.
Smooth muscle is found in hollow visceral organs, like the stomach, intestines, uterus, bladder, and blood vessels/arteries. (Smooth muscle doesn't apply to the heart though, that's cardiac muscle)
Smooth muscle tissue is located in the wall of the digestive tract.
In visceral organs: for example, the stomach, urinary bladder, small intestines. Smooth muscle cells are also found in arteries and arterioles
Skeletal. Definitely. Skeletal Muscle moves bone whereas smooth muscle is found in organs and other parts of the body (stomach, veins, arteries, etc.)

Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
Smooth muscles are involuntary meaning that you cannot control them. They are found around organs in the body such as arteries, stomach, and intestines. Smooth muscles are .5mm long and are spindle shaped. Smooth Muscles also contain nerve endings.
