Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All skeletal muscle fibers are
A
multinucleated
B
single nucleus
C
composted of no nuclei
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle fibers are cylindrical, multinucleated, striated, and under voluntary control. Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, have a single, centrally located nucleus, and lack striations. They are called involuntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: –The skeletal muscles and voluntary muscles are multinucleated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, cardiac muscle is functionally multinucleated and skeletal (voluntary) muscle are true multinucleated. So, the correct option is ‘Cardiac muscle’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Multinucleation is one mechanism adopted by cells to generate and sustain large cell sizes. Muscle cells are one of the largest cell types, which are formed by fusion of mononucleated myoblasts and contain up to several tens (invertebrates) to several hundred (vertebrates) nuclei.
