Question

what can be found in every skeletal muscle?
a. nerves, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue
b. tendons, cartilage, nerves, and blood vessels
c. muscle fibers, nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels
d. tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones

please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Bones are not part of skeletal muscle (muscles attach to bones), and cartilage isn't in every skeletal muscle. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Cartilage is not a component of every skeletal muscle. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Skeletal muscles have muscle fibers (the contractile units), nerves (for control), connective tissue (to organize and attach), and blood vessels (for nutrient/O₂ supply and waste removal). This fits.
• Option D: Bones are not part of the skeletal muscle itself (muscles attach to bones). Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. muscle fibers, nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels
