Which body system contains tissue that can be found in striated, smooth, or cardiac forms?

• A. Muscular system
• B. Circulatory system
• C. Skeletal system
• D. Nervous system

Answer: (A)

Muscle tissue comes in three forms: skeletal (striated and voluntary), smooth (non-striated and involuntary), and cardiac (striated and involuntary). The muscular system includes all three types of muscle tissue, so it’s the body system that can contain tissue appearing in striated, smooth, or cardiac forms. Other systems involve some of these muscles in specific places (for example, cardiac and smooth muscle in the heart and vessel walls), but only the muscular system encompasses skeletal muscle tissue as well, covering all three forms.
