Smooth muscles are:
1. | Voluntary and striated |
2. | Voluntary and unstriated |
3. | Involuntary and unstraited |
4. | Involuntary and striated |
Smooth muscles are found in all the following locations except:
1. Wall of blood vessels
2. Wall of stomach
3. Wall of ureter
4. Wall of abdomen
I: | allow the cells to contract as a unit, i.e., when one cell receives a signal to contract, its neighbours are also stimulated to contract. |
II: | stop the passage of impulse from one cell to another in the tissue. |
Presence of intercalated discs help cardiac muscles to act as a functional syncytium. This is possible because the structure of these discs have:
1. | Tight junctions | 2. | Gap junctions |
3. | Adhering junctions | 4. | Plasmodesmata |
Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): | Cardiac muscle cells can contract as a unit. |
Reason (R): | Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present only in the heart. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
