Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere.
Statement II: In a resting state, the edges of thin filaments on either side of the thick filaments partially overlap the free ends of the thick filaments.
Statement III: The central part of thick filament, not overlapped by thin filaments is called the ‘H’ zone.

Consider the given two statements:

Contraction of a skeletal muscle fibre takes place by:
1. shortening of both actin and myosin myofilaments
2. shortening of actin and lengthening of myosin myofilaments
3. the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments
4. the sliding of the thick filaments over the thin filaments

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the neuromuscular junction.
Statement II: A neural signal reaching the neuromuscular junction releases a neurotransmitter, Acetyl choline, which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma.

Calcium released into the sarcoplasm during muscle contraction:
1. binds to the actin and myosin and makes them work together.
2. breaks apart ATP to ADP and P.
3. removes the tropomyosin block.
4. causes the release of acetylcholine.

To form a cross bridge, during muscle contraction:
1. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
2. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin and then the ATP binds to its site on myosin head
3. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
4. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head and then the ATP binds to its site on actin

The process of skeletal muscle contraction continues till:
1. Myosin goes back to its relaxed state.
2. A cross bridge is formed.
3. Ca2+ ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae.
4. Lactic acid accumulates in the muscle
