Smooth muscle surrounds or is part of the internal organs. Smooth muscle is found in the digestive system, blood vessels, bladder, airways and, in a female, the uterus.keletal muscles can do a short, single contraction (twitch) or a long, sustained contraction (tetanus), and might ache after strenuous exercise. The stomach is an organ of the alimentary canal, a muscular tube that forms part of the digestive system. The wall of the stomach contains smooth muscle tissue.
