Question

Which of the followings statements is TRUE of both cardiac muscle and smooth muscle?

Both muscle types are supplied with nerves from the somatic nervous system.
O Neither muscle type fatigues easily.
о Both muscle types are striated.
Both muscle types are multinucleated.

Answer 1

Both cardiac muscle and smooth muscle are innervated by the autonomic nervous system, do not fatigue easily, and have different numbers of nuclei per cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both cardiac muscle and smooth muscle are not supplied with nerves from the somatic nervous system. Instead, they are both innervated by the autonomic nervous system. **Neither** muscle type fatigues easily, but smooth muscle has a slower contraction rate compared to cardiac muscle. Finally, **neither** muscle type is multinucleated; cardiac muscle has one or two nuclei per cell, while smooth muscle has a single nucleus per cell.
