a. Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue are made up of cells that can contract and relax, but each type of muscle tissue has a unique appearance and type of stimulation. In the following table, provide a general description of each type of muscle tissue that includes its location in the body, cellular appearance, and the type of command that stimulates its contraction. Type of muscle tissue | Body location and function | Cellular appearance | Type of command --- | --- | --- | --- Skeletal Muscle | | | Smooth Muscle | | | Cardiac Muscle | | |

- Cellular appearance: Skeletal muscle cells, also known as muscle fibers, are long and cylindrical in shape. They are multinucleated and have a striated appearance due to the arrangement of protein filaments. - Type of command: Skeletal muscle contraction is Show more…

Match the type of muscle tissue with its structure/function. A. The cells are tapered and have one nucleus. B. Enables arteries to constrict or dilate to maintain blood pressure. C. Produces a significant amount of body heat. D. Forms the walls of the chambers of the heart; its function is to pump blood. E. Produces involuntary waves of contraction, called peristalsis, in the intestines. F. Also called visceral muscle because it is found in many internal organs. G. Also called voluntary muscle because nerve impulses are required for contraction. Answer: A. Skeletal muscle B. Smooth muscle C. Cardiac muscle

Mark the following statements as applying to skeletal muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, or any combination of the three. The primary function is to generate tension. The tissue lines hollow organs. The cells are uninucleate. The cells are involuntary. The cells are autorhythmic. The cells must be stimulated by a neuron to contract. The cells are striated in appearance. The cells lack striations and sarcomeres. The cells are multinucleate.
