Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle is a type of non-
striated
muscle
, found within the "walls" of hollow
organs
and elsewhere like the
bladder
and abdominal cavity, the
uterus
, male and female reproductive tracts, the
gastrointestinal tract
, the
respiratory tract
, the vasculature, the skin and the ciliary muscle and iris of the eye. The
glomeruli
of the kidneys contain a smooth muscle like cell called the
mesangial cell
. Smooth muscle is fundamentally different from
skeletal muscle
and
cardiac muscle
in terms of structure and function.
