The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Muscle Tissue Types**: - Muscle tissues are categorized into three main types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles. Each type has distinct structural and functional properties. 2. **Identifying Skeletal Muscle**: - Skeletal muscles are characterized as striated (striped appearance) and voluntary (under conscious control). They are attached to bones and facilitate movement. 3. **Structural Properties of Skeletal Muscle**: - Skeletal muscle fibers are long, cylindrical, and multinucleated. The striations are due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers, which are organized into sarcomeres. 4. **Functional Properties of Skeletal Muscle**: - Skeletal muscles are responsible for voluntary movements, posture maintenance, and heat production. They contract in response to signals from the nervous system, allowing for precise control of movements. 5. **Distinguishing from Other Muscle Types**: - Smooth muscles are non-striated and involuntary, found in walls of hollow organs. Cardiac muscles are striated but involuntary, found in the heart. These differences help in identifying skeletal muscle specifically. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the structural and functional properties, skeletal muscle tissues are best described as striated and voluntary muscles, which are under the control of the brain and responsible for movement.
