Question

which action would be completed by skeletal muscle tissue?

digesting lunch
moving blood through arteries
increasing the heartbeat
kicking a soccer ball

Explanation:

Identify the characteristics of skeletal muscle

Using the Muscle Types knowledge point, we recall that skeletal muscle is voluntary, striated muscle tissue anchored by tendons to bone. It is responsible for conscious body movements.

Analyze the involuntary options

Using the Cardiac Muscle Function and Muscle Types knowledge points, we evaluate the involuntary actions:

• Digesting lunch involves smooth muscle in the digestive tract.
• Moving blood through arteries involves smooth muscle in blood vessel walls.
• Increasing the heartbeat is controlled by cardiac muscle tissue.

Identify the voluntary action

Kicking a soccer ball is a conscious, voluntary movement of the skeletal system. This action is completed by skeletal muscle tissue.

Answer:

• digesting lunch
• moving blood through arteries
• increasing the heartbeat
• kicking a soccer ball (Correct answer)
