Solution

Smooth muscles:
These muscles are involuntary, and they cannot be controlled by one's will.
The cells are elongated and spindle-shaped and are arranged in the form of sheets.
Smooth muscles are called unstriated muscles because they do not show alternate light and dark bands or striations when observed under a microscope.
