Choose the correct statement about a muscular tissue:
Options
- ASkeletal muscle fibres are uninucleated and found in parallel bundles.
- BIntercalated discs allow the cardiac muscle cells to contract as a unit.
- CThe walls of blood vessels are made up of columnar epithelium.
- DSmooth muscles are multinucleated and involuntary.
Correct answer
B. Intercalated discs allow the cardiac muscle cells to contract as a unit.
