Question
Which of the following statements are correct regarding skeletal muscle? A: Muscle bundles are held together by collagenous connective tissue layer called fascicle. B: Sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibre is a store house of calcium ions. C: Striated appearance of skeletal muscle fibre is due to distribution pattern of actin and myosin proteins. D: M line is considered as functional unit of contraction called sarcomere. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
C and D only
A, B and C only
B and C only
A, C and D only
Statement A is incorrect because muscle bundles are themselves called fascicles; they are held together by a collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia. Statement B is correct as the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the storehouse of calcium ions . Statement C is correct because the striated appearance is due to the distribution pattern of actin and myosin proteins . Statement D is incorrect because the functional unit of contraction is the sarcomere, defined as the portion of the myofibril between two successive 'Z' lines , whereas the 'M' line is a thin fibrous membrane holding thick filaments together.
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Locomotion and Movement. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
