The total number of floating ribs in human skeleton is:
1. | 2 | 2. | 4 |
3. | 6 | 4. | 14 |
As the distance from Z line to Z line decreases, which bands shorten in a sarcomere?
1. | the I band and H band | 2. | the I band and A band |
3. | the A band and H band | 4. | all bands shorten |
The joint between atlas and axis vertebra is classified as:
1. | Saddle joint | 2. | Pivot joint |
3. | Gliding joint | 4. | Hinge joint |
All the following regarding red muscle fibers are true except:
1. | They are adapted for slow and sustained activity |
2. | They have a high content of myoglobin |
3. | They are rich in mitochondria |
4. | They depend on anaerobic process for energy |
A flat bone present on the ventral midline of thorax is called as:
1. | Hyoid | 2. | Clavicle |
3. | Sternum | 4. | Vertebral body |
The central part of the thick filaments not overlapped by the thin filaments is called as:
1. | A band | 2. | I band |
3. | H zone | 4. | Sarcomere |
During relaxation of a skeletal muscle:
1. | Calcium ions that are bound to troponin C now bind to troponin A |
2. | Cross bridge formation between myosin head and actin takes place |
3. | The A band of the sarcomere lengthens |
4. | Calcium ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae |
What type of muscles do you expect to find in the inner walls of hollow visceral organs?
1. | Involuntary, nonstriated | 2. | Voluntary, nonstriated |
3. | Involuntary, striated | 4. | Voluntary, striated |
During muscle contraction, when the myosin head releases ADP and iP it:
1. forms cross bridge with actin
2. pulls actin towards M-line
3. goes back to its relaxed state
4. gets detached from the cross bridge
Which of the following masks the active sites on actin when a skeletal muscle is relaxed?
1. | Tropomyosin | 2. | Troponin |
3. | Calmodulin | 4. | Ubiquitin |
