Question

skeletal muscle is an organ. read the passage to learn about the tissues that make up skeletal muscles called the hamstrings. 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. muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the hamstrings move the leg. 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.

Explanation:

• The passage states that muscle tissue contracts, nervous tissue signals contraction/relaxation, and connective tissue binds and attaches. So, muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together (first statement).
• Skeletal muscle (an organ) has multiple tissues (muscle, connective, nervous), showing organs can have more than one tissue (second statement).
• Nervous tissue (not connective) signals muscle tissue (third statement is false).
• The description of how each tissue contributes (muscle contracts, nervous signals, connective binds/attaches) implies tissue arrangement aids function (fourth statement).

Answer:

Muscle, connective, and nervous tissues work together to help the hamstrings move the leg.
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.
