Smooth muscle, a type of tissue that allows for constriction or dilation, makes up the blood vessel walls. The absence of striations (stripes), which are present in both skeletal and cardiac muscles, gives smooth muscle its name.
Only smooth muscle cells are found in blood arteries. The tunica media houses these muscle cells, elastic fibres, and connective tissue. Even though vessels only have smooth muscles, skeletal muscle contractions are crucial for the venous system's ability to transport blood from the periphery to the heart.
The autonomic nervous system regulates the smooth muscle found in the walls of hollow internal organs like blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, the bladder, and the uterus. Since smooth muscle cannot be consciously controlled, it behaves spontaneously.
