Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of the heart?

  1. Skeletal muscle
  2. Voluntary muscle
  3. Smooth muscle
  4. Cardiac muscle

The heart is composed of cardiac muscle (myocardium), which is involuntary and contracts rhythmically without fatigue. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs such as blood vessels and the intestines. Skeletal and voluntary muscle are the same tissue type, found in muscles attached to the skeleton and under conscious control.

AQA GCSE Physical Education: Applied Anatomy and Physiology FAQ

Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Physical Education?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Applied Anatomy and Physiology practice with other Physical Education topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Applied Anatomy and Physiology questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Physical Education syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Physical Education specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Applied Anatomy and Physiology typically tested on AQA GCSE Physical Education papers?
Applied Anatomy and Physiology appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Physical Education papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
