The smooth muscle in the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupil, which regulates the amount of light entering the eye. When this muscle contracts, the pupil constricts, reducing the amount of light that enters the eye, and when it relaxes, the pupil dilates to allow more light in.
No, the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, such as organs and some glands.

Smooth tissue refers to a type of tissue that lacks striation and is typically found in organs like blood vessels and the digestive tract. Muscle tissue encompasses three types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Smooth tissue is a specific type of muscle tissue known as smooth muscle tissue.
This statement is incorrect. Muscle tissue can be either voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle). Additionally, muscle cells (myocytes) have numerous mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contractions.

Autonomic system
Smooth muscle is found in your internal organs and one of the things it controls is digestion...
Your intestines contain a medial layer of smooth muscle. When the smooth muscle in your intestines is innervated this causes contractions of those smooth muscles. This action then propels food through the intestines. This is called peristalsis. So, as far as I know there are no other muscle groups that aide in digestions. There are however, a plethora of chemicals and enzymes that assist in the digestive process.

The pyloric sphincter
No, and the muscle that controls the movement is the piloerector muscle. See piloerector which are smooth muscle (involuntary)
The nucleus in smooth muscle cells plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression and protein synthesis, which are essential for the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle fibers. It controls the production of specific proteins that are involved in the maintenance and function of smooth muscle tissue.
The smooth muscle in the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupil, which regulates the amount of light entering the eye. When this muscle contracts, the pupil constricts, reducing the amount of light that enters the eye, and when it relaxes, the pupil dilates to allow more light in.
Tunica interna
The smooth muscle, which is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, controls the diameter of the blood vessel, and it plays an important role in blood pressure.
