Select the correct match.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
11th and 12th pair of ribs – floating ribs
Option C (11th and 12th pair of ribs – floating ribs) is correct because the 11th and 12th ribs are not attached to the sternum and are therefore called floating ribs.

Identify a mismatch from the following regarding skeleton in an adult human being
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Pectoral girdle – Sternum, scapula and clavicle
Option D (Pectoral girdle – Sternum, scapula and clavicle) is a mismatch because the sternum is part of the axial skeleton, not the pectoral girdle. The pectoral girdle consists of the scapula and clavicle.

What will happen if ligaments are cut or broken?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Bone will become unfixed
Option C (Bone will become unfixed) is correct because ligaments connect bone to bone, providing stability to joints. If they are cut or broken, the joint loses its stability.

Muscle A and Muscle B are of the same size, but muscle A is capable of much finer control than Muscle B. Which one of the following is likely to be true for muscle A?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
It is controlled by more neurons than muscle B.
Option C (It is controlled by more neurons than muscle B) is correct because finer control requires a smaller motor unit size, meaning more neurons innervate each muscle fiber.

Muscles of alimentary canal are mainly
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Unstriated and neurogenic
Option D (Unstriated and myogenic) is correct because the muscles of the alimentary canal are smooth (unstriated) and can initiate their own contractions (myogenic).

Assertion: Calcium is required for skeletal muscle contraction.

Reason: Calcium influx releases acetylcholine at neuromuscular junction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Option C (Atlas) is correct because the atlas is a cervical vertebra and part of the axial skeleton, not the appendicular skeleton.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Till Ca2+C{a^2}^ +present in sarcoplasm
Option C (Till Ca2+C{a^2}^ +present in sarcoplasm) is correct because muscle contraction continues as long as calcium ions are present in the sarcoplasm to bind to troponin.

The thick filaments in the ‘A’ band are held together in the middle of this band by a thin fibrous membrane called –
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
M – line
Option C (M – line) is correct because the M-line is a thin fibrous structure in the middle of the A band that holds the thick filaments together.

In humans which of the following are similar in one factor
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D

Which of the following would you not expect to find in both a skeletal muscle cell and a cardiac muscle cell?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Potassium channels that close slowly after an action potential.
Option C (Potassium channels that close slowly after an action potential) is correct because this characteristic is specific to cardiac muscle cells and contributes to their longer refractory period.

Statement I: Locomotory structures need not be different from those affecting other types of movements.

Statement II: Locomotory strucutres are chiefly used for locomotion. They are also used for food collection, change in body postures, etc.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both statements I and II are correct
Option C (Both statements I and II are correct) is correct because locomotory structures can also be used for other functions, and they are indeed primarily used for locomotion but can have secondary roles.

Read the following statements w.r.t. muscle contraction and choose the option that states all the correct statements.
a. Actin and myosin filaments do not get short but rather slide passes each other
b. The size of A-band reduces c. Length of H-zone decreases
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
a and c
Option C (a and c) is correct because during muscle contraction, actin and myosin slide past each other, and the H-zone decreases in size. The A-band remains the same size.

Low level of Ca2+C{a^{2 + }} ions in muscles result in
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (a) or (b)
Option C (Both (a) or (b)) is correct because low calcium levels can lead to both rapid spasms and wild contractions due to the disruption of the muscle contraction cycle.

The region at the ends of the A-band of two adjoining sarcomeres is called
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
I-band
Option C (I-band) is correct because the I-band is the light band that contains only actin filaments and is located at the ends of the A-band of two adjoining sarcomeres.

Which of the following is not the feature of red muscle fibres?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
They have high amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Option C (They have high amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum) is correct because red muscle fibers have less sarcoplasmic reticulum compared to white muscle fibers, as they rely more on aerobic respiration.

Select the option which contains only the incorrect statements w.r.t sliding filament theory of muscle contraction.

a. Acto-myosin cross bridge breaks as a new ATP binds to the myosin head

b. Binding of Ca++{Ca}^{++}to troponin results in masking of myosin binding site on actin

c. A-bands get reduced during shortening of the sarcomere

d. Actin filaments slide past myosin filaments
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
b and c
Option D (A and R are incorrect) is correct because during muscle contraction, the length of the A-band remains constant, and the length of the I-band decreases. The contractile proteins do not decrease in size.

Assertion: All locomotions are movements but all movements are not locomotion.

Reason: Movement is the significant feature of living organisms.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both Assertion & Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option B (Both Assertion & Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because while both statements are true, the fact that movement is a significant feature of living organisms doesn't explain why all movements aren't locomotion.
