Are smooth muscles works together in opposing action?

Smooth muscles typically work in coordinated contractions rather than opposing actions. For example, in the digestive tract, one group of smooth muscles contracts to propel food forward while another group relaxes to allow for passage. This coordinated activity is essential for processes like peristalsis. However, in certain contexts, such as opposing muscle layers in blood vessels, one layer may constrict while the other relaxes to regulate blood flow.
