When out of oxygen, vertebrate muscle:

  1. produces lactic acid

  2. produces more carbon dioxide

  3. stops functioning

  4. degrades protein


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The repeated contraction of the muscle results in the low concentration of oxygen and this anaerobic condition leads to the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle. 
So, the correct option is 'produces lactic acid'

Extensor muscles of back have

  1. An aerobic oxidation

  2. Fast rate of contraction

  3. Larger diameter muscle fibers

  4. Abundant in myoglobin


Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

Extensor muscles. Attached to the back of the spine, these muscles allow us to stand and lift objects. They include the large muscles in the lower back (erector spinae), which help hold up the spine, and gluteal muscles.

Extensor muscles are one of the examples for red muscles which contains abundant mitochondria and myoglobin. 
Red muscle fibres contract and fatigue more slowly than white fibres and generate ATP by aerobic catabolism of glucose and fats, utilizing myoglobin-bound O2
Myoglobin is abundant and great numbers of mitochondria occur, characterized by slow, sustained (tonic) contraction.
So, the correct answer is 'An aerobic oxidation and Abundant in myoglobin'

Smallest muscle in the human body

Which of these tissues is responsible for contractions that allow the movement of the body?

  1. Muscle

  2. Nervous

  3. Epithelial

  4. Connective


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are involved in contraction and relaxation. An action potential travels through the motor neuron. The motor neurons are linked to the muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction. When this nervous signal reaches the neuromuscular junction the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released. This neurotransmitter binds to the receptors on the surface of the muscle fiber leading to muscular contraction. Thus the correct answer is option A.

Standing on tip toe is an example of

  1. Elevation

  2. Flexion

  3. Extension

  4. Retraction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
  • Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. The hinge joint is a type of synovial joint.
  • extension refers to movement in the posterior direction. For example, when standing up, the knees are extended.
  • Hence standing on tiptoe(HINGE JOINT AT ANKLE) is an example of an extension.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Elevation'.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • A muscle that draws a body part backward is called Retractor.
  • For example, The horizontal fibers of the temporalis muscle serve to retract the mandible(lower jaw).
  • Hence retractor muscles move the lower jaw, tongue and the head backward.
  • So,the correct answer is 'Retractor'.

Cytoplasm of a muscle cell is?

  1. Neuroplasm

  2. Sarcoplasm

  3. Axoplasm

  4. Sarcolemma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a myocyte (muscle fibre, muscle cell).
  •  It is comparable to the cytoplasm of other cells, but it contains unusually large amounts of glycosomes (granules of stored glycogen) and significant amounts of myoglobin, an oxygen-binding protein. Hence, the Cytoplasm of a muscle cell is sarcoplasm.
So, the correct answer is 'sarcoplasm'.

Sarcomere is the functional unit of

  1. Contraction

  2. Relaxation

  3. Contraction and relaxation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The ‘A’ and ‘I’ bands are arranged alternately throughout the length of the myofibrils.
  • In the centre of each ‘I’ band, there is an elastic fibre called ‘Z’ line which bisects it. The thin filaments are firmly attached to the ‘Z’ line. 
  • The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called sarcomere.
  • Hence Sarcomere is the unit of contraction.

Condition of having a number of nuclei in a muscle fibre is

  1. Polykaryon

  2. Coenocytic

  3. Syncytial

  4. Endoduplication


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  •  Syncytial or syncytium is a multinucleated cell that can result from multiple cell fusions of uninuclear cells (i.e., cells with a single nucleus), which can result from multiple nuclear divisions without accompanying cytokinesis. 
  • Syncytial is also referring to cells interconnected by the specialized membrane with gap junctions, as seen in the heart muscle cells and certain smooth muscle cells, which are synchronized electrically in an action potential. Hence, Condition of having a number of nuclei in a muscle fibre is syncytial.
So, the correct answer is 'syncytial'.

Which of the following is the property of cardiac muscle?

  1. It is involuntary muscles.

  2. It is resistant to fatigue.

  3. It is striated muscle.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Cardiac muscle is specialized tissue that is found only in the heart.
  •  It has characteristics similar to both smooth and skeletal muscle tissue, as well as specialized properties, that allow it to function with fast but sustained contractions, rapid conduction and coordinated movement. Hence,  the property of cardiac muscle is involuntary muscles, resistant to fatigue and striated muscle.
So, the correct answer is 'all the above'.

Cardiac muscles are resistant to fatigue.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Normal muscles like the skeletal muscles get fatigued (strenuous activities like exercise, sports etc.) due to the formation of lactic acid as a result of anaerobic glycolysis. But cardiac muscles do not form lactic acid due to the presence of rich capillary network which provides enough oxygen to the muscles. Anaerobic processes never occur in cardiac muscles, hence lactic acid is never formed enabling heart muscles to perform their function without fatigue.
Therefore, the statement that cardiac muscles are fatigue resistant is true.

Gastrocnemius muscles are found in

  1. Fore arm

  2. Chest

  3. Thigh

  4. Shank


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • The two major types of muscles that make up the calf (back portion of the lower leg) are gastrocnemius and soleus muscle.
  • Along with the soleus muscle, the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle. Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint.
  • Hence gastrocnemius muscles are found in shank(a person's leg, especially the part from the knee to the ankle).
  • So, the correct answer is 'Shank'.
