a)

Stabilize body positions

b)

Produce heat

c)

Produce body movements

Digest food

3.

Which of the following is a characteristic feature of skeletal muscle tissue?

a)

Striations

b)

Involuntary movement

c)

Single nucleus per cell

d)

Packed with short units

4.

Skeletal muscle tissue is best described as:

a)

Voluntary and multinucleated

b)

Involuntary and single nucleated

c)

Voluntary and single nucleated

d)

Involuntary and multinucleated

5.

Which connective tissue sheath surrounds each individual muscle fiber?

a)

Epimysium

b)

Perimysium

c)

Endomysium

d)

Myofibril

6.

What percentage of the cellular volume do myofibrils account for in skeletal muscle?

a)

50%

b)

80%

c)

30%

d)

100%

7.

Which structure is considered the functional unit of skeletal muscles?

a)

Myofibril

b)

Sarcomere

c)

Mitochondrion

d)

Nucleus

8.

The sarcomere is referred to as the functional unit of skeletal muscles because:

a)

It stores nutrients for the muscle

b)

It is responsible for muscle contraction

c)

It produces hormones

d)

It protects the muscle from injury

9.

Which of the following are the two types of skeletal muscle contractions?

a)

Isotonic and Isometric

b)

Voluntary and Involuntary

c)

Smooth and Cardiac

d)

Flexor and Extensor

10.

Cardiac muscle is best described as:

a)

Long, smooth, and voluntary

b)

Short, striated, and involuntary

c)

Long, striated, and voluntary

d)

Short, smooth, and voluntary

11.

Which of the following is a feature of smooth muscle?

a)

Striated

b)

Voluntary

c)

Non-striated

d)

Multinucleated

12.

Smooth muscle is best described as:

a)

Voluntary and striated

b)

Involuntary and non-striated

c)

Voluntary and non-striated

d)

Involuntary and striated

13.

Smooth muscle does not appear striated under the microscope, even though it contains actin and myosin filaments, because:

a)

Because it lacks sarcomeres, which are responsible for striations.

b)

Because it has only circular fibers.

c)

Because it contains only myosin filaments.

d)

Because it is made of connective tissue.

14.

a)

ATP

b)

Glucose

c)

Actin

d)

Troponin

15.

Based on the diagram, what is the result when calmodulin and myosin kinase interact in smooth muscle?

a)

Myosin is activated

b)

ATP is produced

c)

Calcium is released

d)

Actin is inhibited

16.

a)

Flexion

b)

Extension

c)

Abduction

d)

Rotation

17.

What is the function of a muscle that crosses on the posterior side of a joint?

a)

Flexion

b)

Extension

c)

Adduction

d)

Circumduction

18.

Which movement is produced by a muscle that crosses on the lateral side of a joint?

a)

Abduction

b)

Adduction

c)

Flexion

d)

19.

Which muscle is described as the antagonist of the deltoid in the context of shoulder movement?

a)

Teres major

b)

Deltoid

c)

Pectoralis major

d)

Latissimus dorsi

20.

The teres major is considered the antagonist of the deltoid in shoulder movement because:

a)

Because it produces the opposite movement (adduction) to the deltoid (abduction)

b)

Because it is located on the same side as the deltoid

c)

Because it assists the deltoid in abduction

d)

Because it stabilizes the shoulder joint
