Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The thigh muscles are the striated muscles which soon get fatigued due to overwork.
These muscles show fast contractions and then tire immediately due to accumulation of lactic acid.
The muscles of heart wall are the cardiac muscles which are unfatiguable and show rhythmic and automatic contractions.
They have specialised regions of the cell membranes which function as boosters for muscle contraction waves.
Thigh muscles are called voluntary muscles because they can moved at the will of organism whereas heart muscles can?t be moved at one?s will and therefore are involuntary.
