How many types of muscle tissue are there?

  1. Three
  2. Nine
  3. Seven
  4. Twelve
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Three

1. They are skeletal, smooth and cardiac. 2. They differ in structure and control. 3. The body contains three types of muscle tissue. 4. So the answer is three. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 10 'Muscle Tissue'_

The functional unit of a muscle fibre is the:

  1. Sarcosome
  2. Sarcomere
  3. Sarcolemma
  4. Sarcoplasm
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Sarcomere

1. It is the repeating contractile segment. 2. Myofibrils are built from them. 3. The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle fiber. 4. So the answer is the sarcomere. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 10 'Muscle Tissue'_

The plasma membrane of a muscle fibre is the:

  1. Sarcoplasm
  2. Sarcosome
  3. Sarcolemma
  4. Sarcomere
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Sarcolemma

1. Each muscle cell is bounded by a membrane. 2. It encloses the sarcoplasm. 3. A skeletal muscle fiber is surrounded by a plasma membrane called the sarcolemma. 4. So the answer is the sarcolemma. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 10 'Muscle Tissue'_
