State whether the following statements are true or false.
Intercalated discs make up striations in the skeletal muscle.

  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Intercalated discs support synchronized contraction of cardiac tissues. They occur at the Z line of the sarcomere and can be visualized easily when observing a longitudinal section of the tissue. Three types of cell junction make up an intercalated disc.

So, the option is 'False'.

Which muscles having functionally multinucleated conditions?

  1. Cardiac muscle

  2. Smooth muscle

  3. Voluntary muscle

  4. All of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

There are cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle cells of which only skeletal or voluntary muscle cells are multinucleated. Such cells are syncytial. Skeletal muscle cells arise in the embryo as uninucleated entities. Later the cells fuse to give rise to the multinucleated muscle fibre.

So the correct answer should be option C "voluntary muscles".

Consider the following statements each with one or two blanks.
(i) Each half of pectoral girdle consists of a (A) and a (B) 
(ii) (C) is a condition of rapid spasms (wild contractions) in muscle due to low $Ca^{++}$ in body fluid.
(iii) Each organised skeletal muscle In our body is made of a number of (D) held together by a common collagenous connective tissue layer called (E) Which one of the following options correctly fills the blanks in any two of the statements ?

  1. (C) - Muscular dystrophy, (D) - fascia, (E) - fascicle

  2. (A) - clavicle, (B) - scapula, (C) - Tetany

  3. (A) - ilium, (B) - ischium, (D) - fascicles, (E) - fascia

  4. (C) - Myasthenia gravis, (D) - fascicles. (E) - fasda

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Each half of pectoral and pelvic girdle consist of clavicle & scapula, tetany is a condition of rapid spasms in muscle due to low calcium ion in body fluid.

So, the correct option is '(A) - clavicle, (B) - scapula, (C) - Tetany'.
