**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement claims that intercalated discs make up striations in skeletal muscle. First, we need to clarify what intercalated discs and striations are. 2. **Defining Intercalated Discs**: Intercalated discs are specialized structures found in cardiac muscle tissue, not skeletal muscle. They are responsible for connecting individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) and facilitating synchronized contractions. 3. **Defining Striations**: Striations are the alternating light and dark bands seen in skeletal muscle tissue under a microscope. These striations are due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments in a repeating unit called a sarcomere. ...
