Smooth muscle tissue is characterized by its non-striated appearance, with spindle-shaped cells that are typically arranged in sheets or layers. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have visible banding patterns and is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder. To identify it among tissue figures, look for the uniform, elongated cells without striations.
