True/False - Skeletal and Cardiac muscles are rhythmic while smooth is not rhythmic. *1 pointTrueFalse

Answer

False.

Skeletal muscle is generally not considered rhythmic as it is usually under voluntary control and operates in a non-rhythmic pattern based on the needs of the body for movement. Cardiac muscle, on the other hand, is indeed rhythmic, as it contracts in a coordinated manner to pump blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle can also exhibit rhythmic contractions, particularly in certain organs such as the intestines where peristalsis occurs. Thus, the statement that skeletal and cardiac muscles are rhythmic while smooth muscle is not is incorrect. Smooth muscle can function in both rhythmic and non-rhythmic patterns depending on its location within the body and the physiological demands placed upon it.
