Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which muscle is not under direct control of nervous system?
A
Skeletal (Striated muscles)
B
Smooth (Non-striated muscles)
C
Cardiac muscles
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth muscle, found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus, is under control of the autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle cannot be controlled consciously and thus acts involuntarily.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assertion: Skeletal muscles are also known as voluntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, is made up of sarcomeres that allow for contractility. However, unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is under involuntary control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Smooth muscles-sometimes also called involuntary muscles-are usually in sheets, or layers, with one layer of muscle behind the other. You can’t control this type of muscle. Your brain and body tell these muscles what to do without you even thinking about it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cardiac muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that it exhibits rhythmic contractions and is not under voluntary control. The rhythmic contraction of cardiac muscle is regulated by the sinoatrial node of the heart, which serves as the heart’s pacemaker.
