Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Irritability is not a characteristic of muscle tissue so answer choice “A” would be the correct answer. All muscle tissue has four distinct common characteristics which are: contractibility, excitability, elasticity and extensibility.
Detailed explanation-2: -By applying these classifications three muscle types can be described; skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, cardiac muscle is involuntary and straited and smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, which may be delivered from a motor neuron or a hormone. Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched or extended. Elasticity is the ability to a muscle to return to its original length when relaxed.
