Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.

What muscle tissue is the tissue of the heart?
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.
What is difference between an artery and a vein in terms of their elastic tissue?
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.
What type of muscle is found in veins and arteries?
Smooth

What layers is found in arteries and capillaries?
smooth muscle
Smooth muscle is found in the wall of?
Many things, including arteries, stomach, intestines, and uterus.
In What organs do you find smooth muscle?
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)
What type of muscle tissue is found within the digestive system?
Smooth muscle tissue is located in the wall of the digestive tract.
Where can smooth muscle tissue be found?
In visceral organs: for example, the stomach, urinary bladder, small intestines. Smooth muscle cells are also found in arteries and arterioles
What type of muscle tires quickly during exercise smooth or skeletal?
Skeletal. Definitely. Skeletal Muscle moves bone whereas smooth muscle is found in organs and other parts of the body (stomach, veins, arteries, etc.)
What is the muscle that is found in the small intestine?
smooth musclesmooth muscle
What type of of muscle is found only in the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
Two types of smooth muscle?
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.
What are smooth muscles?
Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
