Why are striated muscles called skeletal muscles?
Answer
Skeletal muscles are called striated muscles because when we observed this skeletal muscles under the microscope they have a striped like appearance & they also show alternate dark and light striations or bands. They are long or elongated, non tapering and cylindrical, unbranched. They are multinucleated.

Question 51 Mark
What is the function of companion cells?
Answer
  • Each of these functions (i.e., collection, transport, and release of photosynthate) is intimately related to the structure and activity of companion cells associated with the sieve elements.
  • companion cells in the veins of leaves function in the transfer of assimilates from photosynthetic tissues and bundle sheaths into the sieve tubes.
  • companion cells also play an important role in maintaining the viability and long-distance translocation system of the enucleate sieve tube members by providing them with proteins, including informational (signaling) molecules, and ribonuclear protein complexes as well as $ATP.$
  • Apoplastic loading, a process utilizing energy, is facilitated by carrier proteins called sucrose transporters which are located in the plasma membranes of companion cells and/or sieve tube members.
  • Companion cells that function as transfer cells are characterized by extensive wall in growths that vastly increase the surface area of the plasma membrane.

Where are smooth muscle tissues located in the body?
Answer
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs throughout the body. Smooth muscle contractions are involuntary movements triggered by impulses that travel through the autonomic nervous system to the smooth muscle tissue. The arrangement of cells within smooth muscle tissue allows for contraction and relaxation with great elasticity. The smooth muscle in the walls of organs like the urinary bladder and the uterus allow those organs to expand and relax as needed. The smooth muscle of the alimentary canal (the digestive tract) facilitates the peristaltic waves that move swallowed food and nutrients. In the eye smooth muscle changes the shape of the lens to bring objects into focus. Artery walls include smooth muscle that relaxes and contracts to move blood through the body.
