The muscular walls of your intestines contract to push food through your body.  The smooth muscle in the uterus helps a woman to push out her baby. In the bladder, smooth muscle helps to push out urine. Smooth muscle determines the flow of blood in the arteries. Smooth muscles are involuntary as the body uses them without our brains telling the muscle to work.  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 fusiformshape and, like striated muscle, can tense and relax.

For example, your triceps and biceps as you are able to control them.

Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the Stomach, Oesophagus, Bronchi and in the walls of blood vessels.

Also  It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the 'voluntary' control of the somatic nervous system. Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs ]]> 2017-10-18 09:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joe_lancashire/54aujypqwwvd/wish/198148305 https://padlet.com/joe_lancashire/54aujypqwwvd/wish/198148313 smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. it is known as involuntary as we don't have the ability to control it.
 

 it is found in places like the intestines, heart and womb in women.]]> 2017-10-18 09:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/joe_lancashire/54aujypqwwvd/wish/198148313 https://padlet.com/joe_lancashire/54aujypqwwvd/wish/198148317 Skeletal muscle fibers are attached to the skeletal bones which are voluntary controlled. The skeletal muscles work with your bones to give your body power and strength. Despite this, a skeletal muscle is attached to one end of a bone. 

They also allow movement within joints as they pull on tendons therefore when the skeletal muscle contracts this may shorten the muscle allowing the body part to move.

It never tires.  The thick muscle of the heart contract to pump blood out and then relax to let blood back in after it has circulated through the body.

It helps circulation (Pump blood around the body)
 

The heart is Involuntary
