| 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:
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
| 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. |
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

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. |

The critical event for the contraction of striated muscles would be that calcium ions:
| 1. | are released from troponin C |
| 2. | bind to tropomyosin |
| 3. | bind to troponin |
| 4. | are taken up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum |

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 |

During muscle contraction, when the myosin head releases ADP and iP it:
1. forms cross bridge with actin
2. pulls actin towards M-line
3. goes back to its relaxed state
4. gets detached from the cross bridge
