Both are involuntary muscles.

Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
Recognize that cardiac muscle and smooth muscle are both classified as involuntary muscles, meaning they are not under conscious control.
Consider the structural characteristics of cardiac muscle: it is striated and typically has a single nucleus per cell.
Compare this with smooth muscle, which is non-striated and also typically has a single nucleus per cell.
Note that skeletal muscle is the type that is multinucleated and attached to bones, which differentiates it from cardiac and smooth muscle.
