What are some characteristics of involuntary muscle tissue?
How is smooth muscle different from skeletal muscle?
Smooth muscle is different from skeletal muscle in that it has a lack of striations, is not under conscious control, and contracts more slowly and for longer periods of time. Additionally, skeletal muscle is typically attached to bones and is responsible for movement while smooth muscle is found in the organs and is responsible for involuntary movements.
