Question
Which one of the following statement is not trueregarding cardiac muscle :(1) It is present only in the heart.(2) Cell junctions fuse the plasma membranes ofcardiac muscle cells and make them sticktogether(3) Communication junctions (intercalated discs) atsome fusion points allow the cells to contract asa unit(4) We usually are able to make it contract merelyby thinking
Solution
The statement that is not true regarding cardiac muscle is:
(4) We usually are able to make it contract merely by thinking.
Explanation: Cardiac muscle contraction is not under voluntary control, meaning we cannot make it contract merely by thinking. It is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and the nodes within the heart that regulate heart rate.
