The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Striated Muscles**: Striated muscles are characterized by their striped appearance under a microscope. This striation is due to the arrangement of muscle fibers. 2. **Types of Muscles**: There are three main types of muscle tissues in the human body: - Smooth muscles - Cardiac muscles - Striated (or skeletal) muscles 3. **Control of Movement**: Striated muscles are under conscious control, meaning we can voluntarily control their movements. This distinguishes them from involuntary muscles, which operate without conscious control. 4. **Naming of Striated Muscles**: Because striated muscles are primarily attached to bones and facilitate voluntary movement, they are commonly referred to as: - Skeletal muscles (due to their attachment to the skeleton) - Voluntary muscles (due to their control by the will) 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, striated muscles are also known as skeletal muscles and voluntary muscles. The correct answer to the question is that striated muscles are referred to as both skeletal and voluntary muscles. **Final Answer**: Striated muscles are also known as skeletal muscles and voluntary muscles. ---
