Which muscles can produce tetanus?

Tetanus can occur in skeletal muscles, which are responsible for voluntary movements in the body. When a muscle receives a rapid series of stimuli without sufficient time to relax, it can enter a state of sustained contraction known as tetanus. This is particularly observable in muscles such as the biceps and quadriceps during intense physical activity. Smooth and cardiac muscles can also exhibit sustained contractions, but the term "tetanus" is most commonly associated with skeletal muscles.
