2.

Cardiac muscles contract automatically to squeeze the walls of the heart inward.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Cardiac muscles are unique in that they have the ability to contract automatically without any external stimulation. This automatic contraction allows the walls of the heart to squeeze inward, which is essential for pumping blood throughout the body. Unlike skeletal muscles, which require conscious control from the nervous system, the cardiac muscles have their own internal pacemaker system that initiates and coordinates the contractions. Therefore, it is true that cardiac muscles contract automatically to squeeze the walls of the heart inward.
