mediumQ. No. 15009-which-type-of-muscle-is-found-in-the-heart

Which type of muscle is found in the heart?

Last Updated:

The digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients; the respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide; the circulatory system transports gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes; the excretory system maintains water, salt, and acid–base balance; the nervous and endocrine systems coordinate responses; and the skeletal, muscular, immune, and reproductive systems perform specialised roles. Restate the question in your own words, predict the answer before checking the options, and confirm that the explanation and correct-option field both point to Cardiac muscle.

ASmooth muscle
BSkeletal muscle
CCardiac muscle
DStriated muscle
Correct Answer: Cardiac muscleYour Answer: C

Explanation

found in the heart? Smooth muscle is incorrect because it refers to a different organ, substance, process, or medical association. Skeletal muscle is also incorrect; it may be biologically important, but its principal role or defining feature is not the one being tested here. Striated muscle is incorrect because its function, source, target, or disease relationship does not match the question. Therefore option C, Cardiac muscle, is factually consistent with the stem, the marked correct index, and the explanation. Cardiac muscle (myocardium) is found only in the heart. It is involuntary striated muscle that contracts rhythmically throughout life.

Yes, the human body has 206 bones, and questions about the largest, smallest, and total bone count appear fairly often.

What kind of blood-related questions come up in SSC CGL?

Questions usually cover blood group compatibility, the role of platelets in clotting, and basic facts about blood pressure and heart function.

Do I need detailed biochemistry knowledge for the human body section?

No, most questions focus on what each organ does and why, rather than the detailed biochemical processes behind it.

How can I retain human body facts more effectively for the exam?

Linking facts to real-life observations, like why pulse is checked at the wrist, makes them easier to recall than memorizing textbook lines.
