Question

Which of the following correctly describes the appearance of muscle tissue found in the heart? (2 points) Single-nucleus, non-striated, short cells Single-nucleus, striated, branching cells Multinucleated, non-striated, branching cells Multinucleated, striated, long threadlike cells

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Single-nucleus, striated, branching cells.

Explanation:

This is because the heart has to communicate with itself, and to do that, it has to have branching cells. In addition, the heart has to continue pumping all of the time for many years, so the structure has to be thick and sturdy.

Hope this helps!
