Smooth muscle is found in all hollow organs of the body, e.g. airways, intestine, blood vessels. The ability of smooth muscle cells to generate force and motion, in turn constricting the organ in which they exist, is crucial for the normal functioning of the human organism. In fact, diseases such as hypertension and asthma are often associated with abnormal smooth muscle cell contractility.

平滑肌存在于身体的所有中空器官中，例如气道、肠、血管。平滑肌细胞产生力和运动的能力，反过来收缩它们存在的器官，对于人类有机体的正常功能至关重要。事实上，高血压和哮喘等疾病通常与平滑肌细胞收缩性异常有关。
