Question

multiple choice 1 point what tissue is this? cardiac muscle fibrous connective smooth muscle skeletal muscle

Explanation:

To determine the tissue, we analyze the characteristics:

• Cardiac muscle has intercalated discs and branched cells, not seen here.
• Fibrous connective tissue has collagen fibers, not muscle - like striations.
• Smooth muscle has no striations and spindle - shaped cells, not matching the image.
• Skeletal muscle has striations (striped appearance) and multinucleated cells arranged in parallel fibers, which matches the image.

Answer:

D. skeletal muscle (assuming the options are labeled A - D as cardiac muscle, fibrous connective, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle respectively)
