A
smooth
B
rough
C
cardiac
D
skeletal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Sesamoids. Sesamoids are the bones embedded in the tendons. These bones function to protect tendons from stress and wear.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rough is not a form of muscle tissue. The proper types are listed below: Cardiac-this is the muscle tissue within the heart, whose contractions pump blood around the body. Smooth-this is the muscle that surrounds organs such as blood vessels, intestines and the stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striped (striated), and are under involuntary control.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is option C . Option C is not a function of smooth muscle because forcing blood from the heart to the major arteries is accomplished by cardiac muscles, which is the only muscle type found in the heart.

Detailed explanation-5: -Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.
