Question

Muscle cells are branched.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Muscle cells:

1. A muscle cell, or myocyte as it is known in science, is a specialized animal cell that has the ability to contract by utilizing a series of motor proteins that are uniquely arranged inside the cell.
2. Some related proteins provide support even though actin and myosin form thick and thin filaments that slide past one another to contract a small portion of a muscle cell.
3. These structures are called sarcomeres, and they all function end-to-end within a larger fibre known as a myofibril.
4. Although there are numerous cells in our body, many of them are branched, and muscle cells do not serve as the structure of our body.
5. The heart's muscles have branches as well. On the other hand, nerve cells are the ones that branch in the body as opposed to developing into branches. While the muscle cells created by the spindle are that way because support is their primary job, they are branched to carry information from one cell to the next.

Final answer: The given statement is False.
