Question 5 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Which statement BEST describes how the body moves?

Answer
A
Skeletal muscles, which are made of fibers, nerves, and blood vessels, contract in order to make the body move.
B
Cardiac and smooth muscles are made of muscle fibers, nerves, and cartilage and are responsible for all movement in the body.
C
Smooth muscles, which are made of blood vessels, fibers, and nerves, allow for all activities that use slow-twitch muscle fibers.
D
Skeletal muscles, which are made of tendons, nerves, and fibers, line the body cavities and allow for support and movement.

Explanation

Skeletal muscles attach to bones and contract to produce most voluntary body movement. They contain muscle fibers and are supplied by nerves and blood vessels. Cardiac muscle works in the heart, while smooth muscle moves substances through organs, so neither is responsible for all movement. Tendons connect muscle to bone; they do not make up the muscle itself, so D is not the best choice.
