There are more smooth muscles in the body than skeletal muscles.

There are more smooth muscles in the body than skeletal muscles.

Smooth muscles are basically the involuntary non-striated muscles and are segregated into a single unit and multiunit smooth muscle. On the other hand, skeletal muscles are voluntary striated muscles and these are more in number as compared to smooth muscles. Hence, this statement is false.  

Further explanation:

Smooth muscles can be observed in the walls of the hollow organs like stomach, intestines, uterus, urinary bladder, arteries, and veins. It is also observed in the urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems. These cells are also found in the eyes and are able to alter the size of the iris as well as the shape of the lens. In the skin, they cause the hair to stand in response to the cold temperature or fear.  

Skeletal muscle, on the other hand, is considered to be one of the major muscle kinds. It is known to be a form of striated muscle tissue that is found under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. Most of them are connected to the bones by the aid of bundles of collagen fibers which are called tendons. This refers to the many bundles or fascicles of cells which are connected by muscle fibers. These muscles and fibers are covered by the connective tissue layers known as fasciae. This kind of muscles undergoes the process of muscle contraction. Biceps, glutes, hamstrings, thighs, triceps, and many more make the skeletal muscles.
