Multiple choice zoology movement and locomotion in man structure of skeletal muscle muscles and their structure skeletal muscles

Read the following statements carefully and select the correct ones. 


(i) Cardiac fibres are branched with one or more nuclei.
(ii) Smooth muscles are unbranched and cylindrical. 
(iii) Skeletal muscles can be branched or unbranched.
(iv) Smooth muscles are non-striated.

  1. Only (iv)

  2. (ii) and (iii)

  3. (iii) and (iv)

  4. Only (iii)

A Correct answer
Explanation

Smooth muscles are indeed non-striated, while the other statements contain inaccuracies (e.g., cardiac fibers are branched but typically have a single nucleus, and skeletal muscles are always striated).

The cytoplasm in the muscle fibre is called as

  1. Sarcoplasm

  2. Sarcolemma

  3. Neuroplasm

  4. Nucleoplasm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The cytoplasm in the muscle fibre is called as sarcoplasm. Sarcolemma is the sheath or cell membrane present around the striated muscle fibre. The cytoplasm in the nerve cells is called as neuroplasm. The cytoplasm in the nucleus of the cell is called as necleoplasm. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Sarcoplasm.'

All or none law is not applicable for?

  1. Single skeletal muscle fibre

  2. Single smooth muscle fibre

  3. Whole skeletal muscle

  4. Whole cardiac muscle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

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.

As we know that the stimulus works by stimulating the action potential in the fivers. The action potential is always full and thus the response will be there if the threshold is crossed.
We now that the skeletal muscle are the ones that are in control of the conscious mind and the stimuli can affect them so this is applicable for the voluntary muscles.

So, the correct option is 'Single skeletal muscle fibre'

Striated muscles are found in

  1. Gall bladder

  2. Wall of bronchi

  3. Leg muscles

  4. Lungs
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Striated muscle plays an integral role in the formation of the structural framework of the body. It is the only muscle tissue under the direct conscious control of the cerebral cortex of the brain and hence is the voluntary muscle. All conscious movements of the body, including movement of limbs like the movement of arm, legs, facial expressions, eye movements, and swallowing are the products of the skeletal muscle tissue.
So, the correct answer is option C.

Find out the correct sequence of muscle structures/components present one within the other 

  1. Muscle fibre $\longrightarrow $ Myofilament $\longrightarrow $ Muscle bundle $\longrightarrow $ Myofibril
  2. Muscle bundle $\longrightarrow $ Muscle fibre$\longrightarrow $ Myofibril $\longrightarrow $ Myofilament
  3. Muscle bundle $\longrightarrow $ Muscle fibre $\longrightarrow $ Myofilament $\longrightarrow $ Myofibril
  4. Muscle fibre $\longrightarrow $ Muscle bundle $\longrightarrow $ Myofilament $\longrightarrow $ Myofibril
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Skeletal muscle is organized hierarchically from largest to smallest: a muscle is made of muscle bundles (fascicles), which contain muscle fibres (cells), which are packed with myofibrils, which in turn consist of myofilaments.

The protoplasmic segment of a striated muscle fibre is termed as

  1. Sarcoplasm

  2. Sarcomere

  3. Neuromere

  4. Metamere
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

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. 

Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a muscle fibre. It is a water solution containing ATP and phosphogens, as well as the enzymes of intermediate and product molecules involved in many metabolic reactions. 
Neuromere is a metameric segment of CNS. 
Metamere is a linear series of primitively similar segments into which the body of higher invertebrate and vertebrate is divisible.

Contractile fibrils of muscles are called

  1. Neurofibrils

  2. Callogen fibres

  3. Myofibrils

  4. Yellow fibres
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • 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

  1. Neuron and striated muscle

  2. Neuron and neuron

  3. Muscle and muscle

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

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'.
