NEET 2013 Zoology Animal Tissues Match the Following Question
Identify the tissue shown in the diagram and match with its characteristics and its location :-
Skeletal muscle shows striations and is closely attached to the bones of the limbs.
Smooth muscles show branching and are found in the walls of the heart.
Cardiac muscles are unbranched muscles found in the walls of the heart.
Striated muscles taper at both ends and are attached to the bones of the ribs.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
(1) ✅ Skeletal muscles are striated, voluntary and attached to bones.
(2) ❌ Smooth muscles are non-striated, spindle-shaped, and found in internal organs—not the heart.
(3) ❌ Cardiac muscles are branched and striated, not unbranched; they occur in the heart.
(4) ❌ Tapering at both ends describes smooth muscle, not skeletal/striated muscle.
Quick Revision 🧠
Skeletal: Striated + voluntary + bones
Smooth: Non-striated + involuntary + spindle-shaped
Cardiac: Striated + involuntary + branched + heart + intercalated discs
