**Question: What stimulates smooth muscle to contract?**

- O Hormones.
- ● Hormones and involuntary signals from the nervous system.
- O The conduction system.
- O Signals from the somatic nervous system.

*Explanation:* 

This multiple-choice question asks what triggers the contraction of smooth muscle. The correct answer, highlighted with a red dot, is "Hormones and involuntary signals from the nervous system." This indicates that smooth muscle contraction is influenced by both hormonal signals and the autonomic nervous system, which operates involuntarily. Other options suggest that hormones alone, the conduction system, or the somatic nervous system might be responsible, but these are not selected as correct.
