The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Smooth muscle fibres are," we need to analyze the characteristics of smooth muscle fibers based on the options provided. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the Characteristics of Smooth Muscle Fibers - Smooth muscle fibers are a type of involuntary muscle found in various internal organs. - They are not under conscious control, meaning their movements are involuntary. - They do not have striations (bands), which distinguishes them from skeletal muscle. - The shape of smooth muscle fibers is spindle-shaped (tapered at both ends). - They are unbranched, meaning they do not form branches like cardiac muscle fibers. - Smooth muscle fibers are uninucleated, meaning each fiber has a single nucleus. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option - **Option A**: Spindle shaped, unbranched, non-striated, multinucleated, and involuntary. - Incorrect because smooth muscle fibers are uninucleated, not multinucleated. - **Option B**: Spindle shaped, unbranched, unstated, uninucleated, and involuntary. - Correct as it matches all characteristics of smooth muscle fibers. - **Option C**: Cylindrical, striated, unbranched, multinucleated, and involuntary. - Incorrect because smooth muscle fibers are not cylindrical, striated, or multinucleated. - **Option D**: Cylindrical, unbranched, non-striated, multinucleated, and involuntary. - Incorrect for the same reasons as option C. ### Step 3: Conclusion The correct answer is **Option B**: Spindle shaped, unbranched, non-striated, uninucleated, and involuntary.
