Question

which muscle/muscles can contract without the need for nervous stimulation? multiple choice skeletal muscle smooth muscle cardiac muscle smooth and cardiac muscle skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle contraction is voluntary and requires nervous stimulation. Smooth muscle (e.g., in the digestive tract) and cardiac muscle (in the heart) can contract without direct nervous stimulation. Smooth muscle has inherent rhythmicity, and cardiac muscle has autorhythmicity (pacemaker cells generate electrical impulses for contraction).

Answer:

Smooth and cardiac muscle
