The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question:** The question asks where rhythmical contraction is noticed among the given options: cardiac muscles, striped muscles, unstriped muscles, or all muscles. 2. **Analyze Cardiac Muscles:** - Cardiac muscles are located in the walls of the heart. - They are involuntary muscles, meaning they function without conscious control. - Cardiac muscles exhibit rhythmic contractions to regulate the heartbeat. - **Conclusion:** Cardiac muscles show rhythmic contraction. 3. **Analyze Striped Muscles:** - Striped muscles, also known as skeletal muscles, are voluntary muscles. - They can contract quickly but do not exhibit rhythmic contraction. - **Conclusion:** Striped muscles do not show rhythmic contraction. 4. **Analyze Unstriped Muscles:** - Unstriped muscles, also referred to as smooth muscles, are also involuntary. - They are uncontrolled and do not show rhythmic contraction; their contractions are not regular. - **Conclusion:** Unstriped muscles do not show rhythmic contraction. 5. **Analyze the Option "All Muscles":** - Since only cardiac muscles exhibit rhythmic contraction, this option is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** Not all muscles show rhythmic contraction. 6. **Final Answer:** - Based on the analysis, the only type of muscle that shows rhythmic contraction is the cardiac muscle. **Final Answer:** Rhythmical contraction is noticed in cardiac muscles. ---
