Question

What Contains many nuclei near the sacolemma?
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Cardiac muscle
C. Smooth muscle

Answer 1

Skeletal muscle contains many nuclei near the sarcolemma.  

A. Skeletal muscle

Explanation:

Sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber which seperates intracellular components from the extracellular space.

Skeletal muscles are multi nucleated which indicates that they have multiple nuclei. Muscle contraction becomes possible due to the action potential conduction at the site sarcolemma.  

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones or skin and is involved in voluntary activities of the body. Skeletal muscle tissue is striated and is longer than other types of muscle tissues.

Answer 2

Answer:

Skeletal muscle contains many nuclei near the sarcolemma.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that are striated and multinucleated.  

These multiple nuclei are exclusively and uniformly distributed along the peripheral areas of the myofiber cell just near and underneath the sarcolemma, its plasma membrane.  

The positioning and movement of nuclei of a skeletal muscle during myogenesis is a unique process which takes place through five events – 1. centration, 2. alignment, 3. spreading, 4. peripheral movement, 5. anchoring.  

These nuclei facilitate skeletal muscles both functionally and structurally. They are multinucleated because of their sincitios nature arising from a fusion of numerous cells.
