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 and cartilage are not part of every skeletal muscle (skeletal muscles attach to bones via tendons, but bones aren't inside the muscle; cartilage is also not a universal component of skeletal muscle).
• Option B: Cartilage is not found in every skeletal muscle.
• Option C: Skeletal muscles are made of muscle fibers. They have nerves for control, connective tissue for structure, and blood vessels for nutrient/oxygen supply—all these are universal in skeletal muscles.
• Option D: Bones are not inside skeletal muscles (muscles attach to bones, but bones aren't a component of the muscle itself).

Answer:

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