Verified step by step guidance

Identify the types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Note that epithelial tissue is not a type of muscle tissue.

Understand the basic characteristics of each muscle tissue type. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated, and cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated.

Recall that skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated, meaning they contain more than one nucleus per cell. This is due to the fusion of myoblasts during development.

Compare this with smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle cells typically have a single nucleus, while cardiac muscle cells usually have one or two nuclei.

Conclude that the type of muscle tissue containing cells with more than one nucleus is skeletal muscle, based on the multinucleated nature of its fibers.
