Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of internal organs, such as the small intestine, and is responsible for involuntary movement. Skeletal muscle tissue is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the heart and is responsible for involuntary contraction of the heart. Therefore, based on the location in the small intestine, the type of muscle tissue identified is most likely smooth muscle tissue.
