The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Muscle Tissue**: - There are three main types of muscle tissues: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. 2. **Examine the Characteristics of Each Muscle Type**: - **Skeletal Muscle**: These muscles are striated (striped appearance) and are under voluntary control. They do not have intercalated discs. - **Smooth Muscle**: These muscles are non-striated (smooth appearance) and are involuntary. They also do not have intercalated discs. - **Cardiac Muscle**: These muscles are striated and involuntary. They are found in the heart and are characterized by the presence of intercalated discs. 3. **Define Intercalated Discs**: - Intercalated discs are specialized structures found between cardiac muscle fibers. They facilitate the transmission of electrical impulses and help synchronize the contraction of the heart muscle. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the characteristics and definitions, intercalated discs are present in cardiac muscle tissue. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer to the question is: Intercalated discs are present in **cardiac muscle**.
