Question

Which of the following events is something a smooth muscle can do but cardiac and skeletal muscle can not do?

a. change due to neural stimuli
b. contract
c. generate heat.
d. grow by hyperplasia or an increase in the number of cells
e. move something

Answer 1

Smooth muscles can change due to neural stimuli, while skeletal and cardiac muscles cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smooth muscles differ from skeletal and cardiac muscles in that they can change due to neural stimuli. Neural stimuli can cause smooth muscle to contract or relax, allowing for various responses in the body. For example, smooth muscle in the digestive system can contract to move food along the digestive tract. In contrast, skeletal and cardiac muscles are under voluntary control and cannot change due to neural stimuli.
