No, the quadriceps muscles in the leg are not an example of smooth muscle; they are skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control and are responsible for movement and stability. In contrast, smooth muscles are involuntary and found in structures such as blood vessels and the digestive tract.
