Which of the following ions has a regulatory role in internal movements?

  1. Calcium

  2. Magnesium

  3. Iron

  4. Zinc


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Sarcoplasmic reticulum is similar to endoplasmic reticulum present in other cells. It is present in sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of the muscle cell) of the muscle fiber (muscle cell).
  • The main function of the Sarcoplasmic reticulum is to store calcium ions (Ca2+).
  • When nerve signal reaches the neuromuscular junction it triggers the release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum which in turn facilitates muscle contraction by binding to troponin. thus causing tropomyosin to shift from the face of the actin filament to which myosin heads need to bind to produce a contraction.
  • Hence Calcium ions have a regulatory role in internal movements.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Calcium'.

All the following are examples of connective tissue except _______________.

  1. Tendons

  2. Ligaments

  3. Muscle

  4. Adipose tissue


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Connective tissue serves a connecting function. It supports and binds other tissues in the body. This tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibrous proteins and glycoproteins attached to a basement membrane. The primary elements of connective tissue include a ground substance, fibres, and cells. Adipose tissue is a type of specialised connective tissue and the ligaments and the tendons belong to the dense type of connective tissue while the muscle belongs to another class of tissues namely muscle tissue which are different from the connective tissue.
So, the correct answer is 'Muscle'.

A muscle is rich in 

  1. Fat

  2. Protein

  3. Vitamins

  4. Carbohydrate


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A muscle is rich in protein. The muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin. Actin is a thin filament and myosin is a thick filament. These protein filaments slide past one another to produce contraction. This results in change in length and shape of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Protein.'

Movement in body are brought about by?

  1. Muscular tissue

  2. Epithelial tissue

  3. Bones

  4. Tendon and ligaments


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The main function of the muscular system is movement. Muscles are the only tissue in the body that has the ability to contract and therefore move the other parts of the body & the maintenance of the body posture & body position.

So, the correct option is 'Muscular tissue'.

  1. Bones

  2. Blood

  3. Muscles

  4. Cartilage


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

From all the above options, only muscle has a property of contraction. Muscle possess contractile proteins named, acitn and myosin on myofibrils. Hence, option C is correct. 

Which of the following is an incorrect match of cell junction along with its structure and function?

  1. Cell junction - Tight junctions,
    Structure - Tightly bound, leak proof, fibrous protein 'belt' that surrounds cells ,
    Functions - Organizing junction : hold cells together such that material passes through but not between the cells.

  2. Cell junction - Desmosomes
    Structure - Intermediate filaments linked to adjoining cells through cadherins cytoskeleton.
    Functions - Anchoring junction : "buttons" cells together.

  3. Cell junction - Plasmodesmata
    Structure - Six transmembrane connexon proteins creating a "pipe" that connects cells
    Function - Communicating junctions : allow passage of small molecules from cell to cell in a tissue.

  4. Cell junction - Adherens junctions
    Structure - Transmembrane fibrous proteins.
    Functions - Anchoring junction : "roots" extra-cellular matrix to cytoskeleton.


Correct Option: C

Correct Option: B

Muscles of iris and ciliary body originate from

  1. Ectodoerm

  2. Mesoderm

  3. Endoderm

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Muscles of iris and ciliary body are "smooth muscles". Smooth muscle cells arise from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells (embryonic mesoderm). These cells differentiate first into mitotically active cells, myoblasts, which contain a few myofilaments. Myoblasts give rise to the cells which will differentiate into mature smooth muscle cells. Iris is derived from neuroectoderm but the muscles of iris is derived from mesoderm. Thus, the correct option is B.

Sarcosome is a term used for

  1. Mitochondria

  2. Golgi bodies

  3. Ribosomes

  4. Plastids


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since the 1850s cytologists observed some granular structures in the cytoplasm of the living cells. These structures were originally named as sarcomas. The term mitochondrion was introduced by Carl Benda in 1898. The term mitochondrion became the widely used name for this organelle but still the term sarcosome is accepted to denote this organelle present in the muscle. Sarcosome is a large specialized mitochondrion found in a striated muscle fiber.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (A), 'Mitochondria'.

Involuntary muscle fibres are unique of

  1. Diaphragm; eye muscles; intercostal muscle

  2. Urinary bladder; blood vessels

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Involuntary muscles are those, which are not under our control. Diaphragm muscles are internal muscle, that divides the thorax and the abdomen and are involuntary. The walls of large organs like stomach, intestines, uterus and urinary bladder are involuntary.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Both (A) and (B)'.

Their contraction is involuntary, vigorous and rhythmic holds true for

  1. Striated muscles

  2. Cardiac muscles

  3. Unstriated muscles

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cardiac muscles are the muscles of the heart. They are self-contracting, autonomically regulated (meaning involuntary and must continue to contract in a rhythmic fashion for the whole life of the organism.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Cardiac muscles'.

Which one of these muscles tires out easily?

  1. Cardiac

  2. Unstriated

  3. Striated

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Skeletal muscle fiber or striated muscles are characterized as fast or slow based on their activity patterns. Fast, also called white muscle fibers, contract rapidly, have poor blood supply, operate without oxygen and tire quickly.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Striated'.

High contents of myoglobin and cytochromes are present in

  1. Red muscles

  2. White muscles

  3. Intermediate muscles

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Red muscle gives a fused contraction at a slower frequency of stimulation. The red color of muscles is due partly to myoglobin, which is probably freely dissolved in the sarcoplasm and partly to the cytochrome, which are mainly associated with the particulate components of the cytoplasm.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Red muscles'.

Unstriped muscle are also known as

  1. Visceral

  2. Smooth

  3. Involuntary

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Non-striated muscles are called as smooth muscles. Their activities are not under the voluntary control of the nervous system and are therefore known as involuntary muscles. They are called as visceral muscles because they line the blood vessels, stomach, digestive tract and other internal organs. So, the correct answer is option D. 

Chemical ions responsible for muscle contraction are

  1. ${ Ca }^{ ++ }$ and ${ K }^{ + }$

  2. ${ Na }^{ + }$ and ${ K }^{ + }$

  3. ${ Na }^{ + }$ and ${ Ca }^{ ++ }$

  4. ${ Ca }^{ ++ }$ and ${ Mg }^{ ++ }$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Calcium ions play a significant role in the muscle contraction. These activate the interaction of myosin and actin, through the intervention of tropomyosin and troponin.
Magnesium, in muscle contraction, stimulates calcium re-uptake by the calcium-activated ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It also affects the translocation of calcium ions through the smooth muscle cell membrane.

Multi unit muscle fibres are found in the

  1. Ciliary and iris of eyes

  2. Arrector pilli of dermis

  3. Wall of large blood vessels

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Multi unit smooth cells, however, are not electrically coupled and hence, the cells must be stimulated separately. These smooth muscles contain few gap junctions, and therefore contractions do not spread from cell-to-cell as in single-unit smooth muscle. Each cell is therefore situated close to an axon terminal where it can easily make contact with a neurotransmitter. As the cells are not electrically coupled the force of contraction can be controlled by the number of contractile muscle fibres. Multi-unit smooth cells can be found in the in the trachea, the large elastic arteries, the iris of the eye, in the lungs, erectile tissues of hair follicles ( Arrector pili of the dermis) and the vas deferens in the male genital tract.
The response of the whole muscle depends on upon the number of motor units active, the frequency of discharge in the fibers and the relative amount of excitatory and inhibitory input. Multi-unit smooth muscle activity can be initiated by hormones, but it is not much affected by rapidly stretching the muscle.

Belly is

  1. Upper part of muscle

  2. Middle part of muscle

  3. Lower part of muscle

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Most of the skeletal muscles are attached to the bone on their ends by tendons. As the muscles contract, a force is exerted on the bones, which helps to support and move our body along with its appendages. Usually, one end of the muscle is fixed in its position, while the other end moves during contraction.
The "origin" is the attachment site that doesn't move during contraction, while the "insertion" is the attachment site that does move when the muscle contracts. The insertion is usually distal, or further away, while the origin is proximal, or closer to the body, relative to the insertion. "Belly" of muscle is between origin and insertion.

Smooth muscle fibres are

  1. Spindle shaped

  2. Unbranched and involuntary

  3. Uninucleated

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Visceral muscles are located in the inner walls of hollow visceral organs of the body like the alimentary canal, reproductive tract, etc. Each spindle-shaped smooth muscle fiber contains a single, central nucleus. They do not exhibit any striation and are smooth in appearance. Hence, they are called smooth muscles (non-striated muscle). Their activities are not under the voluntary control of the nervous system and are therefore known as involuntary muscles. They assist, for example, in the transportation of food through the digestive tract and gametes through the genital tract.

Strongest muscles are

  1. Thigh muscles

  2. Leg muscles

  3. Arm muscles

  4. Jaw muscles


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Muscular strength usually refers to the "ability to exert a force on an external object". The strongest muscle in humans, based on its weight is the masseter muscle or the jaw muscle. It is the muscle that can generate the largest externally measurable force attributable to the action of a specific, single muscle. Its strength is the result of incredibly densely packed muscle fibers combined with being attached to a short-armed lever. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars.

Striated muscles are closely associated with the skeletal components of the body like

  1. Trachea

  2. Lung

  3. Leg

  4. Gall bladder


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Striated and unstriated are the types of muscles. Skeletal muscles are closely associated with the skeletal components of the body like limbs. They have a striped appearance under the microscope and hence, are called striated muscles. As their activities are under the voluntary control of the nervous system, they are known as voluntary muscles too. They are primarily involved in locomotory actions and changes of body postures. 

Epimysium of muscles are made up of

  1. White fibrous connective tissue

  2. Adipose connective tissue

  3. Reticular connective tissue

  4. Areolar connective tissue


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Epimysium is the outermost white fibrous connective tissue that completely surrounds and encases skeletal muscle. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. The most important biological purposes of this layer are protection from strain and friction. The smoothness of the tissues promotes seamless gliding, and also protect joints and other high-impact areas from rips or tears and promotes smooth movement of the limbs and joints.

Largest muscle is

  1. Gluteus maximus

  2. Sartorius

  3. Stapedius

  4. Biceps muscle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The gluteus maximus (also known as glutus maximus or, collectively with the gluteus medius and minimus, the glutes) is the largest and most superficial of the three gluteal muscles. It makes up a large portion of the shape and appearance of the hips. It permits a variety of motion and allows us to sit upright.

ATP-ase activity is found in

  1. Myosin filament

  2. Actin filament

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

myosin filament is a polymerised protein. Many monomeric proteins, called meromyosin constitute one thick filament. Each meromyosin has two important parts, a globular head with a short arm and a tail, the former being called the heavy meromyosin (HMM) and the latter, the light meromyosin (LMM). The HMM component, i.e., the head and short arm projects outwards at regular distance and angle from each other from the surface of a polymerised myosin filament and are known as the cross arm. The globular head is an active ATPase enzyme and has binding sites for ATP and active sites for actin.

Which one of the following is antagonistic muscle of biceps?

  1. Quadrieps femoris

  2. Quadratus femoris

  3. Triceps

  4. Branchialis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Muscles cannot expand. They can only contract. Hence, muscles responsible for body movements frequently occur in pairs called agonist-antagonist pairs, for example, biceps and triceps. The biceps cause movement towards the body or central axis and triceps cause movement away from the body or away from the central axis.

Arrector pili muscles in human are

  1. Voluntary

  2. Involuntary

  3. Voluntary as well as involuntary

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

There are two types of muscles, voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary muscles are under our own control while involuntary muscles are not. The arrector pili muscles are small muscles attached to hair follicles in mammals. Contraction of these muscles causes the hairs to stand on end. Each arrector pili is composed of a bundle of smooth muscle fibres, which attach to several follicles (a follicular unit) and is innervated by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. The contraction of the muscle is, therefore, involuntary stresses such as cold, fear etc., may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and thus, cause contraction, but the muscle is not under conscious control.

In camel, number of cervical vertebra is

  1. 6

  2. 7

  3. 8

  4. 9


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Like all other mammals, camel also have 7 cervical vertebre. The only exceptions in mammals are the manatee and the 2-toed sloth, which have 6 cervical vertebrae and the 3-toed sloth having 9 cervical vertebrae.

Shivering with cold in winter is caused by

  1. Voluntary action of striated muscles

  2. Voluntary action of unstriated muscles

  3. Involuntary action of striated muscles

  4. Involuntary action of unstriated muscles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Shivering is an involuntary action of striated muscles ( skeletal muscles). Shivering is also called as rigors or shuddering. It is a bodily function in response to early hypothermia or just feeling cold in warm-blooded animals. When the core body temperature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal muscles around begin to shake in small movements, creating warmth by expending energy. 

Which one is both structural and functional (catalytic) protein?

  1. Hexokinase

  2. Myosin

  3. Ribozyme

  4. Acetyl Co-A


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Myosin is found in muscle filaments. The head portion of myosin forms cross linkage with actin filaments during muscular contraction. The cross bridges between actin and myosin are very important for muscular contraction activity. Thus, myosin fulfills both structural and functional roles.

Autorhythmicity is a special property of the muscles of the

  1. Liver

  2. Intestine

  3. Heart

  4. Kidney


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Autorhythmicity is a property of electrically active cells, that show rhythmic activity without being driven by the rhythmic external stimulation, e.g., heart muscle cells or neurons.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Heart'.

Skeletal muscles show resemblance with visceral muscles in one aspect. It is in

  1. Shape of muscle fibres

  2. Number of nuclei in muscle fibres

  3. Presence of actin and myosin filaments

  4. Presence of light and dark band


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The shape of the skeletal muscle is cylindrical, while that of visceral muscle is pear-shaped or spindle-shaped. Actin filaments which are thin filaments and myosin which are thick filaments are contractile proteins in the skeletal muscle as well as in the visceral muscle.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (D), 'Presence of actin and myosin filaments'.

Cardiac muscle fibres differ from skeletal muscles because these are

  1. Striated and involuntary

  2. Striated and voluntary

  3. Non-striated and voluntary

  4. Antagonistic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • Cardiac muscles have the property of both the striated muscles (or skeletal muscle) and unstriated muscle or smooth muscle.
  • Cardiac muscle is involuntary, which is the property of smooth muscle.
  • Cardiac muscles also have features of skeletal muscles. Like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle cross striations formed by rotating segments of thick and thin protein filaments and the primary structural proteins of cardiac muscle are myosin and actin. 
  • However, skeletal muscles are voluntary as they are supplied with the somatic nerve.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Striated, involuntary'.

The type of muscles present in our

  1. Thigh are striated and voluntary

  2. Upper arm are smooth muscle fibres fusiform in shape

  3. Heart are involuntary and unstriated smooth muscles

  4. Intestine are striated and involuntary


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The muscles in the upper arm and shoulder are striated muscles. So, option B is incorrect.
Heart possesses unique muscles, called cardiac muscles, which are involuntary striated muscles. So, option C is incorrect.
The intestinal muscles are involuntary and are smooth muscle. So, option D is incorrect.

The muscles present in the thigh are striated and voluntary. Hence, option A is correct.

Which of the following is not syncytial?

  1. Cardiac muscle

  2. Skeletal muscle

  3. Smooth muscle

  4. Interstitial muscle


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A syncytium is a multinucleated mass of cytoplasm, that is not separated into individual cells.
Example: Formation of skeletal muscle. Large skeletal muscle fibers formed by the fusion of thousands of individual muscle cells.
Cardiac muscle's syncytium is important because it allows rapid coordinated contraction of muscles along their entire length.
Smooth muscles, however, are not syncytial
So, the correct answer is 'Smooth muscle'

Muscular tissue is differentiated into

  1. Unstriped, striped

  2. Striped, cardiac

  3. Cardiac, muscle, unstriped

  4. Unstriped, striated and cardiac


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are three types of muscle tissue such as cardiac, smooth or unstriated and skeletal or striated.
Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striated and are under involuntary control.
Smooth or unstriated muscle fibers are located in the walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped and are under involuntary control.
Skeletal or striated muscles fibers occur in muscles, which are attached to the skeleton. They are striated in appearance and are under voluntary control.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Myoglobin is found in

  1. Muscles

  2. Blood

  3. Liver

  4. Spleen


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Myoglobin is a protein found in the muscle cells of animals. It functions as an oxygen-storage unit, providing oxygen to the working muscles.

Unstriated muscles are found in

  1. Veins

  2. Arteries

  3. Uterus

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Smooth muscles are the muscle tissues that contracts without conscious control (involuntary), having the form of thin layers or sheets. It is made up of spindle-shaped, unstriated cells with single nuclei and found in the walls of the internal organs such as stomach, uterus, bladder, intestine and blood vessels (veins, arteries) except for heart.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

An example of structural protein is

  1. Myosin

  2. Collagen

  3. Keratin

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Structural proteins are fibrous proteins and form the largest class of proteins measured in terms of their total mass. Structural proteins include myosin, collagen, and keratin. 

Keratins form the protective covering like skin, hair, fur, wool, etc. in all land vertebrates. Equally widespread are the actin and myosin proteins of muscle tissue that play a major role in body movements. In addition, there are the collagens of tendons and hides, which form connective ligaments within the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D), 'All of the above'.

Phosphagen in vertebrates is

  1. Phospho creatine

  2. Phospho arginine

  3. ATP

  4. Phosphoric acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The phosphagens are energy storage compounds, also known as high-energy phosphate compounds. They are chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals. ATP molecules can provide energy for only a few seconds of strenuous muscular activity. Thus muscle cells have backup energy storage compound, creatine phosphate, that can be stockpiled. The energy stored in creatine phosphate is transferred to ATP as needed. But during vigorous exercise, the supply of creatine phosphate is quickly depleted. Muscle cells must replenish their supplies of these energy-rich compounds. Chemical energy is stored in muscle fibers in glycogen, a large polysaccharide formed from hundreds of glucose molecules. Glycogen can be degraded, yielding glucose, which is then degraded in cellular respiration. When sufficient oxygen is available, enough energy is captured from glucose to produce needed quantities of ATP and creatine phosphate.

Red muscle fibres are present over

  1. Extensors of backs

  2. Flight muscle of birds

  3. Athletes of marathon race

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Three major types of skeletal muscle fibers have been identified in vertebrates: slow-oxidative, fast-oxidative, and fast-glycolytic. Slow-oxidative fibers are specialized for endurance activities such as swimming, running long distances like the marathon, or maintaining posture. They contract slowly and fatigue slowly. These fibers require a steady supply of oxygen. They derive most of their energy from aerobic respiration and are rich in mitochondria and capillaries. Slow-oxidative fibers are rich in myoglobin, a red pigment similar to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which stores oxygen. Myoglobin enhances rapid diffusion of oxygen from blood into muscles during strenuous muscle exertion. Because of the myoglobin, slow-oxidative fibers are red. Birds that fly have red breast muscles specialized to support sustained activity. In humans, the proportions of slow-oxidative and fast-oxidative fibers vary among individuals and from muscle to muscle in the same person.

One myosin filament in the myofibril of skeletal muscle fibre is surrounded by how many actin filaments?

  1. Two

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following tissues is most affected due to the deficiency of oxygen? 

  1. Cardiac muscles

  2. Visceral muscles

  3. Hyaline cartilage

  4. Long bones


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When oxygen demand increases, heart rate and cardiac output increase, which increases the flow of blood through the lung and the pressure required to force blood through the arterioles and capillaries of the lung. Due to this, the cardiac muscles are most affected due to deficiency of oxygen. So, the correct option is 'Cardiac muscles'.

One amongst the following is not a property of cardiac muscle fibres

  1. Their T- tubules occur at the level of Z - discs

  2. They are innervated by branches from cranial and spinal nerves

  3. Striated in appearance

  4. Their refractory period is longest


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Cardiac muscle fibres are involuntary and striated in appearance, which is present in the heart. The main characteristic of this is they initiate their rhythmic impulses. Their refractory period is the longest. This type of muscle fibres is innervated by branches from cranial and spinal nerves. Skeletal muscle contains Z-discs to connect the one muscle fibre from another muscle fibres. But cardiac muscle fibres do not contain Z-disc
Thus, the correct answer is 'Their T- tubules occur at the level of Z - discs.'

Which muscles having functionally multinucleated conditions?

  1. Cardiac muscle

  2. Smooth muscle

  3. Voluntary muscle

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Skeletal muscle cells are multinucleated from the fusion of muscle cells. Smooth muscle cells are strictly mononucleated, and cardiac muscle cells are mononucleated in humans. However, cardiac muscle cells are functionally syncytium. They have their cells interconnected with gap junctions, which allow rapid co-ordinated contraction of the muscle cells. The cells, however, are not multinucleated and are not true syncytium (as seen in case of skeletal muscle) but functionally they are syncytium (multinucleated). Therefore, cardiac muscle is functionally multinucleated and skeletal (voluntary) muscle are true multinucleated. So, the correct option is 'Cardiac muscle'.

Skeletal muscles are controlled by?

  1. Sympathetic nervous system

  2. Parasympathetic nervous system

  3. Somatic nervous system

  4. Sympathetic and parasympathetic both


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. The somatic nervous system consists of afferent nerves or sensory nerves, and efferent nerves or motor nerves.
  • Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue, which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. 
  • Hence Skeletal muscles are controlled by Somatic nervous system.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Somatic nervous system'.
