What percentage of the body weight is smooth muscle?

The percentage of body weight which is smooth muscle cannot be determined without a diagnostic body scan. Our skeletal muscle is generally thought to be 40% of a man's weight and 23% of a woman's. We could to deduce a value by considering the cardiac muscle weighs about 2-3 pounds. This value is roughly 1.5% of a person's body weight. therefore, the percentage of the weight smooth muscle must be 58.55 for male and 75.5 percent for a feamle. --------------- Justin Anderson
