Type(s) of tissue that has striations...

• are smooth muscle

• is skeletal muscle

• is cardiac muscle

• all choices are correct

Of the following, which tissue type is avascular?

• Cardiac muscle tissue

• Skeletal muscle tissue

• Smooth muscle tissue

• Nervous tissue

Cardiac muscle tissue is involuntary and not under conscious control.

• True

• False

Of the following, which tissue type or types has many nuclei?

• Cardiac muscle

• Skeletal muscle

• Smooth muscle

• Nervous

Which characteristic applies to nervous tissue and not muscle tissue?

• high cellularity

• low cellularity

• excitability

• conductivity

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'conductivity'. This is a characteristic of nervous tissue, not muscle tissue. While both muscle and nervous tissue are highly cellular and excitable, only nervous tissue has the unique ability to conduct electrical impulses, allowing for rapid communication between different parts of the body.

Which characteristic applies to both muscle and nervous tissues

• Low vascularity

• Excitability

• Avascularity

• conductivity

Answer explanation

Excitability is a characteristic shared by both muscle and nervous tissues. It refers to the ability of these tissues to respond to stimuli. This property allows muscles to contract and nerves to transmit signals, making it a fundamental feature of both these tissue types.

Support cells in nervous tissues are...

• Neutrinos

• Neuroglia

• neutrophils

• Nuclei
