| Smooth Muscles | Found in the walls of internal organs suc as the digestive track and blood vessels. It's Visceral (unstriated) Under involuntary control. |

| Contraction | The tightening of a muscle |
| Relaxation | When muscle returs to it's normal state. |
| Abduction | Moving AWAY from midline |
| Adduction | Moving TOWARD the midline. |
| Flexion | DECREASING the angle of a joint. |
