Assertion: Cardiac tissue is described as a functional syncytium, as opposed to the true syncytium of skeletal muscle.
Reason: A syncytium is a multinucleated cell that can result from multiple cell fusions of uninuclear cells.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: The T-tubules synchronise calcium release within the cell.
Reason: T-tubules bring the sarcolemma very close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum at all regions throughout the cell.

Assertion: Muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening.
Reason: Muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

Assertion: Calmodulin plays an important role in excitation contraction (EC) coupling and the initiation of the cross-bridge cycling in smooth muscle.
Reason: Troponin is not found in the smooth muscles.

4. Both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion: Myoglobin needs to have a higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin.
Reason: To perform its job, myoglobin must effectively bind any oxygen released from hemoglobin.
