For Smooth muscle list the # and location of nuclei, is it striated, is it voluntary

• A. One centrally located nucleus, not striated, not voluntary
• B. Multiple peripherally located nuclei, striated, voluntary
• C. One centrally located nucleus, striated, voluntary
• D. Multiple centrally located nuclei, not striated, involuntary

Answer: (A)

Smooth muscle cells have a single nucleus located near the center of the cell, they lack striations, and they are under involuntary control. This combination—one centrally located nucleus, no striations, and involuntary (autonomic) control—is what the correct description describes. The other options mismatch because skeletal muscle is multinucleated and has peripheral nuclei, with striations and voluntary control; another option lists a central nucleus but with striations and voluntary control, which doesn’t fit smooth muscle; and having multiple centrally located nuclei isn’t typical for smooth muscle.
