Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntrary. Smooth muscle, as is found around the blood vessels and in many organs, is not striated and involuntary. The heart (cardiac muscle) is the only place you have striated involuntary muscle.
Non striated
Striated muscle is found in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle, so this leaves non-striated muscle as smooth muscle. Smooth muscle can be found within the walls of blood vessels, GI tract, respiratory tract, bladder, uterus, iris of the eye, and maybe a few more places in the body.
Skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated. Smooth muscles found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach and in the walls of blood vessels are unstriated.
Smooth muscle tissue is the type of muscle tissue found in the walls of many organs and blood vessels in the body.

Generally not. The striated (skeletal muscles) usually act quickly. Smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and the gut and contract more slowly and tonically.
Smooth muscle is the type of muscle that is not striped (striated) and is under involuntary control. It is found in various organs such as the digestive system, blood vessels, and the respiratory system. Smooth muscle contracts and relaxes in response to various stimuli without conscious effort.
Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
