The image shows long, cylindrical fibers with striations (alternating light and dark bands). There are also multiple nuclei visible along the length of the fibers.
Step 2: Identify the tissue type
These features are characteristic of skeletal muscle tissue. Smooth muscle is not striated and has single, centrally located nuclei. Cardiac muscle is striated but has branching fibers and intercalated discs. Connective tissue blood has a fluid matrix and distinct cellular components.
