Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

In an examination of a sample of muscle tissue, you might notice that the sample consists of striated cells with multiple nuclei
Elis [28]

Answer: SKELETAL MUSCLE

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles is a type of muscle tissue that forms those muscles that move the bones of the skeleton,straited because straitations (strips) can be seen on microscopic examination and involuntary as it is under conscious control.

Although most skeletal muscles move bones,they also accomodate a degree of voluntary control in breathing.

A lot of movements can be finely coordinated.example; writing but may also be controlled subconsciously, maintaining an upright position does not normally require thoughts unless a new locomotor skill is being learned example skating or cycling and the diaphram maintains breathing while asleep.

The fibre (cells) of the skeletal muscle are cylindrical,contain several nuclei and can be up to 35cm long.

Skeletal muscle contraction is stimulated by motor nerve impulses originating in the brain or spinal cord and ending in the neuromuscular junction.

The contraction of a whole skeletal muscle occurs because of coordinated contraction of it's individual fibres.
