What are the key differences between striated and smooth muscle in terms of their structure and function?

Striated muscles have a striped appearance due to the arrangement of their fibers, while smooth muscles lack this striped pattern. Striated muscles are voluntary and under conscious control, while smooth muscles are involuntary and work automatically.
