Unstriped (unstriated, smooth, or involuntary muscle).

 This type will contract without nervous stimulation although in most parts of the body its activity is under the control of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. This variety is composed of elongated spindle shaped muscle cells which retain the appearance of a cell. Involuntary muscle is found in the coats of blood and lymphatic vessels in the walls of digestive tract and the hollow viscera, trachea, and bronchi, in the iris and ciliary muscle of the eye, and in the involuntary muscles in the skin.
