Question

Branched muscle fibers and intercalated discs are characteristic of ________ muscle tissue.
A)smooth
B)voluntary
C)cardiac
D)multinucleated
E)skeletal

Accepted Answer

Branched muscle fibers and intercalated discs are characteristic features of cardiac muscle tissue. Smooth muscle tissue lacks striations and skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated and do not have intercalated discs. Voluntary muscle refers to skeletal muscle, but again, it does not have branched fibers or intercalated discs.
