The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Type of Muscle**: The question specifically refers to "heat muscle," which is commonly understood as cardiac muscle or heart muscle. 2. **Understand Muscle Types**: There are three major types of muscles in the human body: - Skeletal muscles (voluntary) - Smooth muscles (involuntary) - Cardiac muscles (involuntary) 3. **Focus on Cardiac Muscle**: Since the question is about heart muscle, we focus on cardiac muscle, which is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. 4. **Determine Sensitivity**: Cardiac muscles are known to respond to various types of stimuli: - **Electrical Stimuli**: Cardiac muscles respond to electrical impulses that regulate heartbeats. - **Chemical Stimuli**: These include hormones and drugs that can affect heart function. - **Mechanical Stimuli**: Physical changes such as stretching or pressure can also influence cardiac muscle activity. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: Since cardiac muscles are sensitive to electrical, chemical, and mechanical stimuli, the correct answer is "all the above." **Final Answer**: Heart muscle (cardiac muscle) is sensitive to all the above stimuli: electrical, chemical, and mechanical. ---
