Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Skeletal muscles
Concept:

Nervous control systems over muscle tissues.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • Voluntary muscles are directly innervated by the somatic nervous system, meaning their contraction requires conscious thought and deliberate nerve firing.


  • Because they are attached to bones and facilitate all conscious body movements (walking, lifting, talking), Skeletal muscles are strictly classified as voluntary muscles.


Why other options are incorrect:

Smooth and cardiac muscles are governed by the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. You cannot consciously command your heart to stop beating or your intestines to stop digesting.
