Questions and Answers
- 1.
Fill in the concept map below with the appropriate name of the muscle tissue.
Explanation
The appropriate name for the muscle tissue is skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton and are responsible for voluntary movement of the body. They are striated in appearance and are under conscious control. Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of long, cylindrical cells called muscle fibers, which are multinucleated and contain specialized contractile proteins that allow for muscle contraction.Rate this question:

Fill in the concept map below with the appropriate name of the muscle tissue.
Explanation
The correct answer is the names of different types of muscle tissues. "Smooth muscle" refers to the type of muscle found in the walls of organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements. "Cardiac muscle" refers to the muscle tissue found in the heart, responsible for the heart's contractions. The terms "smooth muscles" and "cardiac muscles" are simply the plural forms of the respective muscle types.Rate this question:

Circle the example(s) of cardiac muscle:
- A.
Stomach
- B.
Heart
- C.
Jaw
- D.
Arm
- E.
Blood vessels
Correct Answer
B. HeartExplanation
The correct answer is heart because the heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue. Cardiac muscle is a specialized type of muscle found only in the heart. It is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of the heart, allowing it to pump blood throughout the body. The other options listed, such as stomach, jaw, arm, and blood vessels, do not contain cardiac muscle.Rate this question:

Circle the example(s) of smooth muscle:
- A.
Stomach
- B.
Heart
- C.
Jaw
- D.
Arm
- E.
Blood vessels
Correct Answer(s)
A. Stomach
E. Blood vesselsExplanation
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of organs and blood vessels. The stomach is an example of an organ that contains smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is also present in blood vessels, which help to control blood flow and regulate blood pressure. Therefore, the examples of smooth muscle in the given options are the stomach and blood vessels.Rate this question:

- A.
Stomach
- B.
Heart
- C.
Jaw
- D.
Arm
- E.
Blood vessels
Correct Answer(s)
C. Jaw
D. ArmExplanation
The jaw and the arm are examples of skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movements, such as chewing (jaw) and lifting (arm). The stomach, heart, and blood vessels are not skeletal muscles. The stomach has smooth muscle tissue, the heart has cardiac muscle tissue, and the blood vessels have smooth muscle tissue.Rate this question:

You’re eating pizza with your friends and thinking about all the ways muscles are helping you enjoy each hot, gooey bite. Write a paragraph describing how skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles work to allow you to eat the pizza. Make sure you use at least one example for each muscle type. Don’t just list the muscle types – make sure you describe how they’re working to help you eat the pizza.
