Smooth muscle is fundamentally different from skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle in terms of structure, function, regulation of contraction, and excitation-contraction coupling. Smooth muscle cells known as myocytes, have a fusiform shape and, like striated muscle, can tense and relax.
Skeletal muscle tissue is found in our skeletal muscles; for example, the biceps. Cardiac muscle is found in our heart, and smooth muscle is found in our visceral, or hollow, organs-for example, blood vessels and intestines.All muscles contract as a result of interaction between special proteins within the myocytes.ardiac muscle is found in our heart, and smooth muscle is found in our visceral, or hollow, organs-for example, blood vessels and intestines.
