Worked practice questions

The neuromuscular junction is also known as the:

  1. Intercalated disc
  2. Axon hillock
  3. Node of Ranvier
  4. Motor-end plate
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Motor-end plate

The junction of a motor neuron with the sarcolemma is called the motor-end plate.

As a sarcomere shortens during contraction, which band keeps its length?

  1. The H zone
  2. The I band
  3. The A band
  4. The Z-to-Z span
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The A band

Thin filaments slide over thick ones, so I bands shorten while A bands stay the same length.

Which event breaks the cross bridge between actin and myosin?

  1. A new ATP binding myosin
  2. Calcium binding troponin
  3. Hydrolysis of lactic acid
  4. Release of acetylcholine
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. A new ATP binding myosin

After ADP and phosphate leave, binding of a fresh ATP to the myosin head detaches it from actin.
