Smooth muscle
The smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, meaning it does not have repeating functional units called sarcomeres. Smooth muscle is often found in the walls of hollow organs, including the stomach, intestines, bladder, and uterus. It is also found in the walls of passageways, such as blood and lymph vessels, and in the tracts of the respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Credit: Shutterstock
