Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle is found in the walls of most hollow organs of the body, such as the digestive tract, blood vessels, and uterus. It is responsible for involuntary contractions and relaxation of these organs. In contrast, skeletal muscle is voluntary striated muscle that moves the skeleton, while cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle that makes up the heart.
