Which type of muscle tissue is striated (shows visible banding under the microscope)?

Nervous tissue
B
Skeletal muscle
C
Epithelial tissue
D
Smooth muscle
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the four main types of tissues in the body: nervous tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and connective tissue.
Recall that muscle tissue is divided into three types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
Recognize that striations (visible banding patterns under a microscope) are characteristic of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, but not smooth muscle.
Note that nervous tissue and epithelial tissue do not have striations because they are not muscle tissues.
Conclude that among the options given, skeletal muscle is the type of muscle tissue that is striated and shows visible banding under the microscope.
