The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about smooth muscles, we will analyze the characteristics of smooth muscle tissue and identify the correct option from the given choices. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Muscle**: - Smooth muscles are one of the three types of muscle tissues in the body, the other two being skeletal and cardiac muscles. 2. **Characteristics of Smooth Muscles**: - **Involuntary**: Smooth muscles are not under conscious control, meaning they function automatically (e.g., in the walls of organs). - **Shape**: Smooth muscle cells are fusiform (spindle-shaped), which means they are wider in the middle and taper at both ends. - **Striation**: Smooth muscles are non-striated, meaning they do not have the banded appearance seen in skeletal muscles. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - The options given are: 1. Involuntary, fusiform, and non-striated 2. Voluntary, multinucleated, and slantical 3. Involuntary, slantical-striated 4. Voluntary, spindle shape, and uninucleated 4. **Match Characteristics to Options**: - The first option matches the characteristics of smooth muscles: **involuntary**, **fusiform**, and **non-striated**. - The second option describes features of skeletal muscles (voluntary and multinucleated). - The third option incorrectly describes smooth muscles. - The fourth option describes features that do not accurately represent smooth muscles. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is the **first option**: **involuntary, fusiform, and non-striated**. ### Final Answer: Smooth muscles are **involuntary, fusiform, and non-striated**. ---
