- DStriated muscles, tapering at both-ends, attached with the bones of the ribs
Correct answer
A. Skeletal muscle, shows striations and closely attached with the bones of the limbs
Step-by-step solution
Skeletal muscles are closely associated with the skeletal components of the body. They have a striped appearance under the microscope and hence are called striated muscles. As their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system, they are known as voluntary muscles too. They are primarily involved in locomotory actions and changes of body postures.
