No, the trapezius is not a smooth muscle; it is a skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles, like the trapezius, are under voluntary control and are responsible for movements of the head, neck, and shoulders. In contrast, smooth muscles are involuntary and are found in structures like blood vessels and the digestive tract. The trapezius plays a key role in posture and movement, particularly in shrugging the shoulders and tilting the head.
