Question 1

Question
Which statement about skeletal muscle cells in false?
Answer
  • They can be up to 40cm in length.
  • They are striated due to protein arrangement.
  • They are cylindrical and aligned in parallel.
  • They can have multiple nuclei.

Question 2

Question
Myosin is the thin myofilament, and actin is the thick myofilament.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
A sarcomere is 2 two micrometres from Z-disk to Z-disk.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Choose the statement that is false.
Answer
  • Longer muscle fibres means a smaller ROM.
  • Muscle fibres can shorten up to 50% in length when contracting.
  • Pennate/oblique muscle fibres have a larger physiological cross sectional area but not a longer anatomical cross sectional area.

Question 5

Question
Fibre Type I has [blank_start]high[blank_end] enzymatic/metabolic activity and is [blank_start]aerobic[blank_end]. It is slow twitching. Marathon runners may have more of this type. Fibre Type II has [blank_start]low[blank_end] enzymatic/metabolic activity and is [blank_start]anaerobic[blank_end]. It is fast twitching. Usain bolt probably has a lot of this type.
Answer
  • high
  • aerobic
  • low
  • anaerobic

Question 6

Question
Fitting more fibres into the same space e.g. a pennate arrangement reduces the shortening ability of muscle but increases forces exerted by muscle.
Answer
  • True
  • False
