Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which includes both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic nervous system typically causes smooth muscle contraction, while the parasympathetic nervous system usually promotes relaxation of smooth muscle. Additionally, hormones and local factors can also influence the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle.
Strong muscle contractions are controlled by INCREASING THE VOLTAGE UP TO THE MAXIMUM VOLTAGE
basically the brain and nervous system... these mucseles are involuntary...in order to live they just work...but ya, the brain controls it...

Smooth muscle that controls light intensity?
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.
Can the autonomic interating centers be influenced by higher brain area?
No, the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, such as organs and some glands.
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
Is smooth tissue a muscle tissue?
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.
Muscle is involuntary and has few mitochondria?
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.
What controls smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
Autonomic system
What muscle controls the size of the bronchioles in the lungs?
SmooTh muscle
Smooth muscle is found and control what?
Smooth muscle is found in your internal organs and one of the things it controls is digestion...
What type of muscle controls 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.
What controls smooth muscle movement?
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervious system.
What is the smooth muscle that controls the passage of food into the small intestine?
The pyloric sphincter
Can you make the hairs on your arm stand on ends?
No, and the muscle that controls the movement is the piloerector muscle. See piloerector which are smooth muscle (involuntary)
Smooth muscle that controls light intensity?
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.
What is the role of smooth muscle in blood vessels walls?
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.
Which blood vessel tunic is composed of smooth muscle and controls the diameter of the vessel?
Tunica interna
What is the muscle that is found in the small intestine?
smooth musclesmooth muscle
How does smooth muscle make blood vessels function?
Smooth muscle is mostly in the afferent branch going from the arteries to the arterioles. The body controls where blood will flow by controlling the vessel diameter. An increase in sympathetic tone constricts smooth muscle, decreases blood vessel diameter, and limits blood flow.
