Question

Muscle cells are branched.
A.True
B.False

Answer 1

Hint: The small package of several myofibrils is a muscle cell. The small package of several myofibrils is a muscle cell.

Complete answer:

First we should know about muscle cells to answer this question. A muscle cell, scientifically known as a myocyte, is a specialised animal cell that, using a sequence of motor proteins specifically organised within the cell, can shorten its length. Although actin and myosin shape thick and thin filaments that slip past one another to contract small numbers of a muscle cell, some associated proteins support. Such units are known as sarcomeres, and inside a wider fibre called a myofibril, all of them operate end-to-end.
 Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- In our body, there are several cells present and many of the cells are branched, but muscle cells do not create a foundation for our body. Thus, option A is not the correct option.
- The statement given is false. And there are branches of the muscles of the heart. The nerve cells, from the other hand, are the ones which are branched in the body rather than becoming branches. They are branched to bring information between one cell to the other while the muscle cells formed by the spindle are that way because support is their key function.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: There are several nuclei in a single muscle cell, which are forced against the cell membrane. In contrast with other types of cells, a muscle cell is a long cell, and several muscle cells bind together to create the long fibres seen in muscle tissue.
