The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Muscle Types**: - Muscles in the human body can be classified into three main types: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles. - Cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary, meaning they operate without conscious control, while skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning they can be controlled consciously. 2. **Analyzing Cardiac Muscle**: - Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is composed of cells called cardiomyocytes. - Each cardiomyocyte typically contains one nucleus. Therefore, cardiac muscle does not have a multinucleated condition. 3. **Analyzing Smooth Muscle**: - Smooth muscle is found in various organs such as the stomach and esophagus. - Similar to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle cells also contain only one nucleus. Hence, smooth muscle is also not multinucleated. 4. **Analyzing Skeletal Muscle**: - Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that is under voluntary control and is responsible for body movements. - Skeletal muscles are made up of myofibrils, which are composed of repeated units called sarcomeres. - The formation of skeletal muscle occurs through a process called myogenesis, where several uninucleated precursor cells (myoblasts) fuse together to form a single muscle fiber that contains multiple nuclei. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since skeletal muscle is formed from the fusion of multiple uninucleated cells, it is functionally multinucleated. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is skeletal muscle. **Final Answer**: Skeletal muscle is the muscle that has a functionally multinucleated condition. ---
