The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Striped Muscles:** - Striped muscles are also known as striated muscles or skeletal muscles. They are responsible for voluntary movements in the body. 2. **Characteristics of Striped Muscles:** - The key characteristic of striped muscles is that they are **multinucleate**. This means that each muscle fiber contains multiple nuclei. 3. **Definition of Syncytial:** - The term "syncytial" refers to a structure that is formed from the fusion of multiple cells, resulting in a single cell with multiple nuclei. This is applicable to striped muscles. 4. **Other Options:** - The other options provided are "unianucleate" (which means having one nucleus), "spindle shaped" (which describes the shape of smooth muscles), and "none of these." Since striped muscles are multinucleate, they do not fit the unianucleate description. 5. **Conclusion:** - Based on the characteristics and definitions, the correct answer is that striped muscles are **syncytial**. **Final Answer:** - Striped muscles are syncytial. ---
