No, it is not. It being under your control would mean you could stop your heart at will.

What is cardiac smooth muscle?

There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.


What types of muscle are under voluntary control?

Skeletal muscles, like biceps, are under voluntary control. Smooth muscle, like the diaphragm, and cardiac muscle are involuntary. Thanks for using Answers.com!


What Cardiac Muscle makes up what organ?

Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue


Which two muscle types are controlled involuntarily?

Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are controlled involuntarily - they are not under conscious control. Smooth muscles control functions such as digestion and blood vessel constriction, while cardiac muscles control the beating of the heart.


Three types of muscle and give an example for them?

Cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles.the three types of muscle in the body: cardiac (heart), skeletal (biceps, quadriceps etc.), and smooth muscle (found in the intestinal tract such as stomach and colon).


Is the heart a skeletal muscle?

No, the heart is not a skeletal muscle; it is composed of cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is unique to the heart and is involuntary, meaning it functions automatically without conscious control. In contrast, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control and is responsible for movement of the skeleton. The distinct structure and function of cardiac muscle allow the heart to pump blood efficiently throughout the body.


What are the key differences in the structure and function between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?

Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood. Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, while cardiac muscle is involuntary. Additionally, skeletal muscle has multiple nuclei per cell, while cardiac muscle has only one nucleus per cell.


Is a heart a cardiac muscle?

Unlike other types of muscle, cardiac muscle never gets tired. It works automatically and constantly without ever pausing to rest. Cardiac muscle contracts to squeeze blood out of your heart, and relaxes to fill your heart with blood. Unlike skeletal muscle tissue, its contraction is usually not under conscious control


What type of muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled?

Generally, skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled and smooth muscle is not. Some structures have a combination of both. For example, the bladder is made up of smooth muscle and consists of some skeletal muscle at the sphincter which is capable of "holding" it until you are ready.


The heart has what tissue in it?

Heart has cardiac tissue. It is striated like skeletal muscle, but is under control of the autonomic nervous system.
