The dark and light bands seen as striations in a skeletal muscle are located on:
1. | Myofilaments | 2. | Muscle fiber |
3. | Myofibril | 4. | Motor unit |
The correct statement regarding myofibril would be:
1. | It is the name for a muscle cell. |
2. | It contains sarcoplasmic reticulum. |
3. | It is made up of many sarcomeres. |
4. | It is a bundle of muscle cells. |
Statement I: | Thick filaments within the myofibril are composed primarily of actin. |
Statement II: | Thin filaments within the myofibril are composed primarily of myosin. |
I: | The striated appearance of skeletal muscle myofibril is due to the distribution pattern of two important proteins – Actin and Myosin. |
II: | The light band contains actin and is called as I-band or Isotropic band. |
III: | Actin and myosin in a myofibril are arranged as rod-like structures, parallel to each other and also to the longitudinal axis of the myofibrils. |
IV: | Actin filaments are thinner as compared to the myosin filaments. |
1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 3 | 4. | 4 |
The central part of the thick filaments not overlapped by the thin filaments is called as:
1. | A band | 2. | I band |
3. | H zone | 4. | Sarcomere |
The Z line is present in:
1. | A band | 2. | H zone |
3. | I band | 4. | M line |
The part of the sarcomere that is composed of only myosin myofilaments is:
1. | A band | 2. | I band |
3. | M line | 4. | H zone |
1. | Anisotropic band mainly contains myosin. |
2. | Isotropic band consists of actin. |
3. | The thick filaments are held together by an M-line. |
4. | Actin and myosin are arranged perpendicular to each other and also to the longitudinal axis of myofibrils. |
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. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is incorrect |
1. | a band where only actin molecules are found |
2. | a band where only myosin molecules are found |
3. | an attachment point for actin molecules |
4. | an attachment point for myosin molecules |
