Muscle tissue that is involuntary is:
A
smooth muscle only
B
cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle
C
cardiac muscle and smooth muscle
D
skeletal muscle only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striped (striated), and are under involuntary control. Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs (such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines), except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, have a single, centrally located nucleus, and lack striations. They are called involuntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles which are found in organs where voluntary movement is impossible, like the alimentary canal or the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -smooth muscle, also called involuntary muscle, muscle that shows no cross stripes under microscopic magnification. It consists of narrow spindle-shaped cells with a single, centrally located nucleus. Smooth muscle tissue, unlike striated muscle, contracts slowly and automatically.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, is made up of sarcomeres that allow for contractility. However, unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is under involuntary control.
