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 striated, multinucleated cells, ranging from 10-100 micrometers in diameter and many centimeters long. The nuclei are located in the cell’s periphery, adjacent to the sarcolemma.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, cardiac muscle is functionally multinucleated and skeletal (voluntary) muscle are true multinucleated. So, the correct option is ‘Cardiac muscle’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated from the fusion of muscle cells. Smooth muscle cells are strictly mononucleated, and cardiac muscle cells are mononucleated in humans. However, cardiac muscle cells are functionally syncytium.
