Answer:

Smooth muscle

Step-by-step explanation:

Smooth muscle cells often only contain a single nucleus and their movements are involuntary, such as their movement during swallowing. Skeletal muscle is ordinarily striated and voluntary, with many nuclei involved in their cells. Cardiac muscles have fewer nuclei that skeletal muscles cells, but are also involuntary in their movement, which keeps the heart beating.
