All or none law is not applicable for?
-
Single skeletal muscle fibre
-
Single smooth muscle fibre
-
Whole skeletal muscle
-
Whole cardiac muscle
The all or none law states that the strength of the stimuli will not decide the reaction of the muscle fibre. f the stimulus is more than a certain threshold they will fire. Either there will be a full response or there will be no response at all.

-
With age
-
With exercise
-
With material accumulation in it
-
All of the above

-
Gall bladder
-
Wall of bronchi
-

-
Lungs

The protoplasmic segment of a striated muscle fibre is termed as
-
Sarcoplasm
-
Sarcomere
-
Neuromere
-
Metamere
Sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of striated muscle fibre. Sarcomere occurs as repeating units along the length of a myofibril, occupying the region between Z lines of the myofibril.
Contractile fibrils of muscles are called
-
Neurofibrils
-
Callogen fibres
-
Myofibrils
-
Yellow fibres
- Each muscle fibre(muscle cell) is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm(cytoplasm of muscle fibre).
- The characteristic feature of the muscle fibre(muscle cell) is the presence of a large number of parallelly arranged filaments in the sarcoplasm called myofilaments or myofibrils.
- Each myofibril is made up of two kinds of proteins. They are actin and myosin.
- The function of the myofibril is to perform muscle contraction via the sliding-filament model. Hence Contractile fibrils of muscles are called myofibrils.
- So, the correct answer is 'Myofibrils'.
End plate junction is present between
-
Neuron and striated muscle
-
Neuron and neuron
-
Muscle and muscle
-
Both B and C
The area of contact between the ends of a large myelinated nerve fibre and a fibre of the skeletal muscle is called the motor end plate junction. It is also called as a neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (A), 'Neuron and striated muscle'.
Sarcomere is the functional unit of contraction in a muscle fibre. Identify the portion of myofibril that constitutes a sarcomere
-
Portion of myofibril between two successive Z-lines
-
Portion of myofibril between two successive I-bands
-
Portion of myofibril between two successive A-bands
-
Portion of myofibril between two successive M-lines
- The ‘A’ and ‘I’ bands are arranged alternately throughout the length of the myofibrils. The light bands contain actin(thin filament) and are called I-band or Isotropic band, whereas the dark band called ‘A’ or Anisotropic band contains myosin(thick filament).
- In the centre of each ‘I’ band 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 a sarcomere Sarcomere is considered as the functional unit of contraction in a muscle fibre.
- So, the correct answer is 'Portion of a myofibril between two successive Z-lines'.
An animal cell with numerous nuclei is called
-
Coenocyte
-
Syncytial
-
Plasmodium
-
Both A and B
- Syncytial refers to a multinucleate condition where a single cell has more than one nucleus per cell i.e., multiple nuclei with a common cytoplasm.
- It is caused primarily due to multiple cell fusions of uninuclear cells.
- This condition usually arises when cells are infected with certain types of viruses (HIV, pneumoviruses etc.).
- In animals, this condition is seen in skeletal muscles (large skeletal muscle fibres are formed by the fusion of individual muscle cells).
- So, the correct answer is 'Syncytial'.
