Arrange the following events in correct chronological order:
a: | acetylcholine hydrolyses into acetate and choline |
b: | acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft |
c: | Impulse reaches the terminal endings of the motor neuron |
d: | acetylcholine binds to its receptor on motor end plate |
e: | sarcolemma gets depolarized |
1. | b, c, d, a, e | 2. | c, b, d, e, a |
3. | c, d, b, a, e | 4. | d, e, b, a, c |
Acetylcholinesterase:
1. helps in binding of acetylcholine to its receptors.
2. catalyzes the synthesis of acetylcholine from acetate and choline.
3. stimulates receptors within the postsynaptic membrane.
4. breaks down acetylcholine.
Arrange the following events in the correct chronological order:
a. | calcium ions released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum |
b. | sarcoplasmic reticulum takes up calcium ions |
c. | calcium ions diffuse towards troponin |

e. | the length of the sarcomere shortens |
f. | muscle relaxes |
1. | a, c, d, e, b, f | 2. | b, c, e, d, f, a |

b. Ca2+ combines with troponin
c. tropomyosin pulls away from actin
d. troponin pulls away from actin
e. tropomyosin pulls away from myosin
f. troponin pulls away from myosin

The majority of the muscle fibers in the skeletal muscles of the leg of a long distance runner is expected to have:
1. adaptation for sudden outburst of activity
2. primarily anaerobic source of energy
3. numerous mitochondria
4. large deposits of glycogen
During relaxation in smooth muscle:
1. calcium is removed from troponin.
2. bind to calmodulin.
3. myosin phosphatase removes phosphate from myosin.
4. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Cylindrical, branched muscle cells that are arranged into functional syncytium are:
1. cardiac muscles.
2. skeletal muscles.
3. single unit smooth muscles.
4. multi unit smooth muscles.
A muscle cell is called as a:
1. | sarcomere | 2. | fiber |
3. | myofibril | 4. | myofilament |
All the following are parts of the actin myofilament in a sarcomere except:
1. actin
2. cisternae
3. tropomyosin
4. troponin
An ATPase activity is associated with:
1. G actin molecule
2. head of myosin molecule
3. troponin molecule
4. F actin
