Which of the following ions has a regulatory role in internal movements?
-
Calcium
-
Magnesium
-
Iron
-
Zinc
- 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 _______________.
-
Tendons
-
Ligaments
-
Muscle
-
Adipose tissue
A muscle is rich in
-
Fat
-
Protein
-
Vitamins
-
Carbohydrate
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.
Movement in body are brought about by?
-
Muscular tissue
-
Epithelial tissue
-
Bones
-
Tendon and ligaments
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.
Contractile proteins are found in_________________.
-
Bones
-
Blood
-
Muscles
-
Cartilage
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?
-
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. -
Cell junction - Desmosomes
Structure - Intermediate filaments linked to adjoining cells through cadherins cytoskeleton.
Functions - Anchoring junction : "buttons" cells together. -
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. -
Cell junction - Adherens junctions
Structure - Transmembrane fibrous proteins.
Functions - Anchoring junction : "roots" extra-cellular matrix to cytoskeleton.
Which is true of contractile tissue of sphincter?
$1.$ Mesodermal
$2$. Contain stretch receptors
$3$. Rhythmicity
$4$. Indefatigible.
-
All the four
-
Only $1, 2$ and $3$
-
Only $1, 2$ and $4$
-
Only $1, 3$ and $4$
Muscles of iris and ciliary body originate from
-
Ectodoerm
-
Mesoderm
-
Endoderm
-
All of the above
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
-
Mitochondria
-
Golgi bodies
-
Ribosomes
-
Plastids
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
-
Diaphragm; eye muscles; intercostal muscle
-
Urinary bladder; blood vessels
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
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)'.
