Question

Select all of the following tissues that combine to make each skeletal muscle a discrete organ.

A. Nervous tissue
B. Skeletal muscle tissue
C. Loose and dense connective tissue
D. Hyaline cartilage
E. Vascular tissues (blood vessels)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Nervous tissue

B. Skeletal muscle tissue

C. Loose and dense connective tissue

E. Vascular tissues (blood vessels)

Nervous tissue is present in skeletal muscles in the form of motor neurons that innervate individual muscle fibers. Skeletal muscle tissue is the primary component of the muscle organ and is responsible for generating force and movement. Connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and fascia provide structural support and help to transmit forces generated by the muscle. Blood vessels supply the muscle with oxygen and nutrients, and remove waste products. Hyaline cartilage is not a component of skeletal muscle tissue.
