Question

Which among the following is the correct similarity between smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?

• A. Both are branched
• B. Both are voluntary
• C. Both are uninucleated
• D. Both are spindle shaped

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both are uninucleated

Both smooth and cardiac muscle are uninucleated (both having single nucleus). Smooth muscle tissue has unbranched fibres, while cardiac has branched fibres. Both smooth and cardiac muscle tissue are involuntary in nature. Smooth muscle is spindle-shaped while cardiac is cylindrical in shape.
