Question

the hamstrings are skeletal muscles on the back of the thigh. they contain muscle tissue that can contract to shorten, or flex, the hamstrings. nervous tissue in the hamstrings tells the muscle tissue when to contract and relax. the hamstrings have connective tissue to bind them to blood vessels and nerves, and to attach them to the back of bones in the lower leg. so, when the hamstrings flex, they pull the bones and cause the lower leg to bend at the knee joint. select the true statements. organs in the human body can contain more than one type of tissue. connective tissue signals muscle tissue to contract in the hamstrings. the arrangement of their tissues helps the hamstrings carry out their function. muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the hamstrings move the leg.

Explanation:

• The hamstrings are an organ (skeletal muscle) that contains muscle, nervous, and connective tissue, so organs can have more than one tissue type.
• Nervous tissue (not connective) signals muscle tissue to contract.
• The arrangement of tissues (muscle for contraction, nervous for signaling, connective for attachment) helps hamstrings function (bending the leg).
• Muscle (contraction), connective (attachment), and nervous (signaling) tissues collaborate for leg movement.

Answer:

• Organs in the human body can contain more than one type of tissue.
• The arrangement of their tissues helps the hamstrings carry out their function.
• Muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the hamstrings move the leg.
