The picture shows a group of muscles in the heart. All of these muscle cells beat in unison to push blood in timing with the rhythm of the heart, at the direction of nearby nerve cells.

These muscles could best be called a:

• Organ

• Tissue

• Macromolecule

• Organ System

An organ, in any multicellular organism, would BEST be described as:

• Several types of cells working together for a common purpose.

• A group of the same kind of cells with a common structure & function.

• A structure containing a single cell that is part of a large system.

• A structure made of two or more tissues functioning together for a common purpose.

This image shows how each of the three different of human muscle cells appear under a light microscope.

Which statement BEST summarizes why these human muscle cell types look different?

• The muscle cells may appear slightly different but the structure and function of each type is identical.

• The 3 types of muscle cells look different since they each have different DNA contained in the nucleus.

• The 3 types of muscle cells appear different since they are present at different stages of the organism's development.

• The 3 types of muscle cells appear different since they are specialized to perform different functions in the human body.
