In the muscular system, muscle tissue is categorized into three distinct types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Each type of muscle tissue in the human body has a unique structure and a specific role. Skeletal muscle moves bones and other structures. Cardiac muscle contracts the heart to pump blood.
Smooth muscle is found within the walls of blood vessels and small arteries, arterioles and veins. Smooth muscle is also found in lymphatic vessels, the urinary bladder,the ureter, male and female reproductive tracts(uterus). The smooth muscle tissue that forms organs like the stomach and bladder changes shape to facilitate bodily functions.
