Which of the following statements are correct regarding skeletal muscle? Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. B and C only
  2. A, C and D only
  3. C and D only
  4. A, B and C only

Answer

(1) B and C only

Solution

A: Muscle bundles (fascicles) are held together by a collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia, not 'fascicle' — so statement A is incorrect.

B: The sarcoplasmic reticulum of a muscle fibre is the store house of calcium ions — correct.

C: The striated appearance is due to the distribution pattern of actin and myosin proteins — correct.

D: The sarcomere (functional unit of contraction) is the portion of the myofibril between two successive Z lines, not the M line — so statement D is incorrect.

So only B and C are correct.

Answer: (1)

Which of the following is a correct match for disease and its symptoms?

  1. Arthritis - Inflamed joints
  2. Tetany - High Ca2+ level causing rapid spasms

According to the sliding filament theory:

  1. The actin filaments slide away from A-band resulting in shortening of sarcomere.
  2. Actin and myosin filaments slide over each other to increase the length of the sarcomere.
  3. Length of A-band does not change
  4. I-band increases in length.
