Question 5 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

What is the difference between smooth and skeletal muscle?

Answer
A
Skeletal muscle movement cannot be controlled, but smooth muscle movement can.
B
Skeletal muscle movement can be controlled, but smooth muscle movement cannot.
C
Skeletal muscle movement can be controlled only by the cardiac muscle, not the smooth muscle.

Explanation

Skeletal muscles are generally under voluntary control, so you can consciously move them. Smooth muscles work involuntarily, without conscious control, in places such as the digestive tract and blood vessels. Therefore, the correct choice is “Skeletal muscle movement can be controlled, but smooth muscle movement cannot.”
