Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: Visceral muscle, also known as smooth muscle, is a type of muscle found in various parts of the body, primarily in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines, blood vessels, and the bladder.

Identify the characteristics of visceral muscle: Visceral muscle cells typically have a single nucleus, are under involuntary control, and are not striated, meaning they do not have the banded appearance seen in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

Compare the given options with the known characteristics of visceral muscle: The options provided are 'Found in the walls of hollow organs', 'Single nucleus per cell', 'Striated appearance', and 'Involuntary control'.

Analyze each option: 'Found in the walls of hollow organs' and 'Single nucleus per cell' are true characteristics of visceral muscle. 'Involuntary control' is also a true characteristic, as visceral muscle is not consciously controlled.

Identify the incorrect characteristic: 'Striated appearance' is not a characteristic of visceral muscle, as it is smooth and lacks the striations seen in other muscle types like skeletal and cardiac muscle.
