Cardiac

Smooth
C
Skeletal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac muscles are a type of specialized, striated muscle found only in the heart. They are under the control of the autonomic nervous system, which means they are involuntary and work autonomously. They also contain blood vessels that supply nutrients to cardiac muscle tissue and remove waste products.

Detailed explanation-2: -These fibers are thought to act mainly as tension receptors within the cardiac wall (38), and they are stimulated mechanically when cardiac filling pressure [left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)] increases in the setting of volume expansion.

Detailed explanation-3: -SA’s complementary phenomenon is shortening deactivation (SD), a delayed decrease in force following muscle shortening. SD increases muscle relaxation, which decreases resistance to subsequent muscle lengthening.
