Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of striated muscle: Striated muscles are characterized by a striped appearance under a microscope. The two types of striated muscle are skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.

Review the control mechanisms of skeletal muscle: Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, meaning it is regulated by the somatic nervous system, not the autonomic nervous system.

Examine the control mechanisms of cardiac muscle: Cardiac muscle is striated and is controlled involuntarily by the autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate and contraction strength.

Clarify the role of smooth muscle: Smooth muscle is not striated and is also controlled by the autonomic nervous system, but it is not relevant to the question since it lacks striations.

Eliminate incorrect options: Tendon tissue is not a muscle type, and skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. The correct answer is cardiac muscle, as it is striated and controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
