Correct Answer: Muscles in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
Description: Smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are innervated by both parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves. Smooth muscles in the wall of the blood vessels and arrector pili muscles in hair follicles are innervated only by sympathetic nerves. Muscles act at the elbow joint and muscles enclosed by epimysium are skeletal muscles that are innervated by somatic motor (general somatic efferent ) nerves.
