Smooth muscles can also be called Involuntary muscles

They are usually in sheets or layers with one layer of muscle behind the other

You cant control this type of muscle your brain, body–tell this muscle to work without you thinking about it

Smooth muscles are at work all over your body- in your digestive system ( they expand and contract), Bladder, a woman's uterus and behind your eyes keeping them focused on things

The muscle that makes up the heart is called the Cardiac Muscle

It is also know as the Myocardium The muscles of the heart contract to

pump blood out and then relax to let blood back in after it has circulated through the body

Like smooth muscles , Cardiac muscles work all by themselves with NO help from You!

These muscles help to make up the Musculoskeletal- which is a combination of your muscles + bones

These muscles work with your bones to give one power and strength

These muscles are attached to the end of bones with tendons
