The picture below shows a human body with several different types of muscles.

Question

Which level of organization is best represented by each type of muscle?
A.
cell

B.
organ

C.

D.
tissue

Answer 1

In the context of the human body and the types of muscles, the best level of organization represented by each type of muscle is:

• Skeletal Muscle: D. tissue (Skeletal muscle is composed of muscle tissue which consists of muscle cells working together.)
• Smooth Muscle: D. tissue (Smooth muscle also forms a type of muscle tissue found in the walls of organs.)
• Cardiac Muscle: D. tissue (Cardiac muscle is a specialized muscle tissue found in the heart.)

In summary, all three types of muscles—skeletal, smooth, and cardiac—are classified at the level of tissue.
