Question

each part of the human body, including the heart, contains certain types of specialized cells. a few of the types of cells found in the heart are described below. first type of cell produces structures that support and strengthen the heart. these cells, called fibroblasts, also produce important materials for many other body parts. a second type of cell forms a smooth inner surface that allows blood to flow easily through the heart. these cells, called endothelial cells, also make up the linings of blood vessels and of other body parts. another type of cell expands and contracts to make the heart beat. these cells, called cardiomyocytes, are special muscle cells found only in the heart. select all the true statements. many cells found in the heart have specialized functions. the heart is made up of at least three types of cells. the cells that make up the heart all have the same structure. all types of cells found in the heart are also found in other parts of the body.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • The text describes three types of cells in the heart with specialized functions (fibroblasts support and strengthen, endothelial cells have a smooth inner surface for blood flow, cardiomyocytes make the heart beat). So "Many cells found in the heart have specialized functions" is true.
  • As three types of cells (fibroblasts, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes) are mentioned, "The heart is made up of at least three types of cells" is true.
  • The cells have different functions (e.g., support vs. blood - flow - related vs. contraction), implying different structures (though not explicitly stated in a complex way, the functional differences suggest structural ones), so "The cells that make up the heart all have the same structure" is false.
  • Cardiomyocytes are "special muscle cells found only in the heart", so "All types of cells found in the heart are also found in other parts of the body" is false.

Answer:

  • Many cells found in the heart have specialized functions.
  • The heart is made up of at least three types of cells.
