Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the characteristics of the muscle tissue described in the problem. The key features mentioned are branching, uninucleate (one nucleus per cell), and striated (striped appearance under a microscope).

Step 2: Review the types of muscle tissue. There are three main types: smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle. Each has distinct structural and functional characteristics.

Step 3: Compare the features of each muscle type: Smooth muscle is non-striated and uninucleate, found in walls of hollow organs. Skeletal muscle is striated and multinucleate, responsible for voluntary movements. Cardiac muscle is striated, uninucleate, and has branching cells, found in the heart.

Step 4: Identify the muscle tissue that matches all the described characteristics. Based on the comparison, cardiac muscle fits the description of branching, uninucleate, and striated cells.

Step 5: Confirm the answer by recalling that cardiac muscle is unique in its structure and function, designed for continuous contraction in the heart to pump blood effectively.
