Question 1
Question
[blank_start]Skeletal[blank_end] muscle is for movement, posture, and heat. [blank_start]Cardiac[blank_end] muscle is for pumping [blank_start]blood[blank_end]. [blank_start]Smooth[blank_end] muscle is for moving [blank_start]contents of the viscera[blank_end] and has specific functions.
Answer
-
Skeletal
-
Cardiac
-
blood
-
Smooth
-
contents of the viscera
Question 2
Question
Which of these descriptions matches skeletal muscle?
Question 3
Question
Smooth muscle is essential for building pressure in the blood vessels.
Question 4
Question
Which two types of junction are important in cardiac muscle(cardiomyocytes), and what is their nature of connection?
Answer
-
Desmosomes - Mechanical, Gap junctions - Electrical
-
Desmosomes - Electrical, Gap junctions - Mechanical
-
Gap junctions - Electrical, Tight junctions - Mechanical
-
Gap junctions - Mechanical, Tight junctions - Electrical
Question 5
Question
Choose the correct statement about the heart.
Answer
-
The joining of two myocytes is an intercalated disk.
-
Pacemaker cells reside in the atrioventricular node
-
An action potential reaching the sinoatrial node will be passed on to the atrioventricular node
-
Pacemaker cells are stimulus dependant.
Question 6
Question
Choose the correct sequence of steps for contraction of the heart.
Answer
-
Depolarised atria > septum > apex > ventricles partially, then fully
-
Depolarised atria > apex > septum > ventricles partially, then fully
Question 7
Question
Choose the correct statements about contraction of the heart.
Answer
-
Muscle movements must be coordinated.
-
The ventricles are initially polarised via the Bundles of His after the apex is polarised.
-
The apex is initially polarised via the Bundles of His after the septum is polarised.
-
The depolarisation of the ventricles is initiated via the Purkinje fibres after the septum is polarised.
-
The depolarisation of the ventricles is via the Purkinje fibres after the apex is polarised.
Question 8
Question
The heart can beat outside of the body because of it's own 'mini nervous system.'
Question 9
Question
Choose the incorrect statement about smooth muscle.
Answer
-
Smooth muscle has actin and myosin, but it is not arranged in sarcomeres
-
Smooth muscle allows for large changes in length.
-
Smooth muscle is poor at retaining tension.
-
Smooth muscle is arranged in bundles by dense bodies
Question 10
Question
Single unit smooth muscle is [blank_start]joined[blank_end] by gap junctions. [blank_start]Only some[blank_end] cells need receptors for neurotransmitters, and the action potential is transferred to all other [blank_start]connected[blank_end] cells. Thus, they work as a single unit. Examples include the digestive, urinary, and reproductive tract walls.
In multi-unit smooth muscle, there are [blank_start]no gap junctions[blank_end] between cells and [blank_start]all[blank_end] cells have receptors. This allows for finer or more [blank_start]precise[blank_end] muscle control. An example is the muscles in the eye, or the blood vessel s/sheets.
Answer
-
joined
-
Only some
-
All
-
connected
-
no gap junctions
-
gap junctions
-
all
-
some
-
precise
Question 11
Question
Relaxation of smooth muscle causes vasodilation in blood vessels, while contraction causes vasoconstriction.
Question 12
Question
Normal smooth muscle tone is a semi tensed state.
Question 13
Question
Choose the correct statement about smooth muscle contraction.
Answer
-
Ca++ binds to calmodulin in the sarcoplasm.
-
Ca-Calmodulin complexes activate MLC (myosin light chain)
-
MLC (myosin light chain) actives MLCK (myosin light chain kinase)
-
MLCK (myosin light chain kinase) activates cross bridges
-
The dephosphorylated form of MLC causes contraction.

Smooth muscle is:
Answer
-

-
spindle shaped
Question 17
Question
Skeletal and smooth muscle are both thin filament regulated.
Question 18
Question
Smooth muscle does not have T-Tubules.
