The correct Answer is:
To determine which type of muscle fibers have rounded ends, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding Muscle Types**: - **Striated Muscles**: These include skeletal and cardiac muscles. They have a cylindrical shape and exhibit striations (alternating light and dark bands). Due to their cylindrical structure, they have rounded ends. - **Smooth Muscles**: These are unstriated and have a spindle shape. They do not have rounded ends; instead, they taper at both ends. - **Unstriped Muscles**: This term is synonymous with smooth muscles, which are also spindle-shaped and lack rounded ends. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Unstriped muscles**: These are smooth muscles and do not have rounded ends. - **(b) Smooth muscles**: These are also unstriated and have tapered ends, not rounded. - **(c) Striped muscles**: This refers to striated muscles, which include both skeletal and cardiac muscles. They have rounded ends due to their cylindrical shape. - **(d) All the above**: This option suggests that all types of muscle fibers have rounded ends, which is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(c) Striped muscles**, as they are the only type that has rounded ends. ### Final Answer: (c) Striped muscles
