Match the following tissue types with their description: Nervous tissue | Transmits signals throughout the body; Smooth muscle tissue | Involuntary and striated; Cardiac muscle tissue | Involuntary and non-striated; Skeletal muscle tissue | Voluntary and striated.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to match different types of tissues with their correct descriptions. We need to identify the correct attributes for nervous tissue, smooth muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, and skeletal muscle tissue.
Answer
Nervous: transmits signals; Smooth: involuntary, non-striated; Cardiac: involuntary, striated; Skeletal: voluntary, striated.
Nervous tissue transmits signals throughout the body, smooth muscle tissue is involuntary and non-striated, cardiac muscle tissue is involuntary and striated, and skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary and striated.
Answer for screen readers
Nervous tissue transmits signals throughout the body, smooth muscle tissue is involuntary and non-striated, cardiac muscle tissue is involuntary and striated, and skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary and striated.
More Information
Each type of muscle tissue has a unique structure and function. Smooth muscle, found in places like the digestive tract, controls involuntary movement. Cardiac muscle, found in the heart, helps pump blood, while skeletal muscle attaches to bones for voluntary movement.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the characteristics of cardiac and smooth muscles regarding striation.
