Solution

The correct option is D None of these
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton. They help in the movement of the body parts. Tendons join muscle to bones. Ligaments join bone to bone. Upper part of pharynx, tongue, diaphragm and external anal sphincter contain skeletal muscles which are not attached to bones. They are striated and multinucleated. Muscle fibres are bundled together in a parallel fashion. Sheath of tough connective tissue (endomysium) encloses several bundles of muscle fibres. Perimysium covers muscle fasculi. Epimysium covers the muscle.
