The Muscle Tissue That Shows No Striations is ________ Muscle

Question

The muscle tissue that shows no striations is ________ muscle.
A) skeletal
B) cardiac
C) smooth
D) voluntary
E) multinucleated

Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle is the only type of muscle tissue that does not show striations, which are the visible lines seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle due to the arrangement of contractile proteins. Skeletal muscle is mostly voluntary and multinucleated, whereas cardiac muscle is involuntary and has a uni- or binucleated structure.
