Which type of muscle tissue has a banded (striated) appearance under the microscope?
A
Nervous tissue
B
Epithelial tissue
C
Smooth muscle tissue
D
Skeletal muscle tissue
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that muscle tissue can be classified into three main types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissue.
Recall that striations refer to the banded appearance seen under a microscope, caused by the organized arrangement of actin and myosin filaments within muscle fibers.
Recognize that skeletal muscle tissue and cardiac muscle tissue both have striations, while smooth muscle tissue does not.
Note that nervous tissue and epithelial tissue are not muscle tissues and therefore do not have striations.
Conclude that the muscle tissue with a banded (striated) appearance under the microscope is skeletal muscle tissue.
