Question

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

Explanation:

To determine the tissue, we analyze the characteristics:

1. Fibrous connective tissue: Has fibers (like collagen) and cells in a matrix, not the striated, multi - nucleated appearance here.
2. Skeletal muscle tissue: It has striations (alternating light and dark bands) and is multi - nucleated with nuclei located at the periphery of the muscle fibers. The image shows striated muscle with multiple nuclei at the edges of the fibers, matching skeletal muscle.
3. Smooth muscle tissue: It is non - striated, has a single nucleus per cell, and has a spindle - shaped appearance, which does not match the image.
4. Cardiac muscle tissue: It has striations, but the cells are branched and have intercalated discs, and usually have one or two centrally located nuclei, which is different from the image.

Answer:

B. skeletal
