Question

Which of the following muscle tissues are unstriped?

• A. Skeletal muscle
• B. Smooth Muscle
• C. Cardiac muscle
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Smooth Muscle

Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles. They are controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. These are spindle shaped and uninucleate. These are unstriated. They taper at both ends and experience maximum stretching.

Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton. They help in the movement of the body parts. They are striated and multinucleated.

Cardiac muscles are contractile tissues found only in the heart. These are striated but involuntary and branched.
