1/10 Questions

The muscles function to produce _______________ and ______________.
- Force and motion
- Light and mass
- Sight and speed
- Blood flow

About This Quiz

Muscles makes us up as human. It forms a large part of us. Our internal systems and bones are covered and protected by muscles that could obstruct infiltration. Try this out to test your skill on muscles.

2.

Muscle produces _________________ to power the myosin heads.
- Glucose
- Glycogen
- Protein
- Adenosine triphosphate
Correct Answer

A. Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation

Muscle produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power the myosin heads. ATP is the main source of energy for muscle contraction. When ATP is hydrolyzed, it releases energy that is used by the myosin heads to generate force and facilitate muscle movement. Therefore, ATP is essential for muscle function and provides the necessary energy for muscle contraction.

The muscle motion that moves food down through the oesophagusis called ________________.
- Oscillation
- Peristalsis
- Locomotion
- Translation
Correct Answer

A. Peristalsis

Explanation

Peristalsis is the correct answer because it refers to the muscle motion that moves food down through the esophagus. Peristalsis is a coordinated contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the esophagus that propels food from the throat to the stomach. Oscillation, locomotion, and translation are not terms that specifically describe the muscle motion involved in moving food through the esophagus.

The muscle the holds bones together is called ________________
- Tendon
- Ligament
- Fiber
- Ceryvx
Correct Answer

A. Ligament

Explanation

A ligament is a type of connective tissue that holds bones together at a joint. It is strong and flexible, providing stability and support to the joint. Ligaments are made up of collagen fibers and can be found throughout the body, connecting bones to other bones. Unlike tendons, which connect muscles to bones, ligaments do not contract or relax. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and proper alignment of joints, allowing for smooth movement and preventing excessive or abnormal joint motion.

Muscles tissues are derived from ______________ layer of embryonic germ cells.
- Mesodermal
- Thyroid
- Carbo
- Oxytocin
Correct Answer

A. Mesodermal

Explanation

Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. During embryonic development, the mesoderm differentiates into various types of tissues, including muscle tissue. This layer gives rise to the mesodermal cells, which further specialize into different types of muscle cells, such as skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells. Therefore, the correct answer is mesodermal.

The word muscle is derived from Latin musculus which means _____________.
- Strenght
- Morsel
- Little mouse
- Flesh
Correct Answer

A. Little mouse

Explanation

The word "muscle" is derived from the Latin word "musculus," which translates to "little mouse." This is because the ancient Romans believed that the shape and movement of certain muscles resembled small mice scurrying under the skin. This comparison led to the adoption of the term "musculus" to describe these bodily tissues.

Muscle contains protein filament of __________ and __________
- Renaltic and Subrx
- Actin and Myosin
- Andrenal and Lipids
- Nitrox and Sultex
Correct Answer

A. Actin and Myosin

Explanation

Muscles are made up of protein filaments called actin and myosin. Actin and myosin are the two main proteins responsible for muscle contraction and movement. Actin forms thin filaments while myosin forms thick filaments. These filaments interact with each other during muscle contraction, causing the muscle fibers to shorten and generate force. Therefore, actin and myosin are essential components of muscle tissue.

8.

Muscles generate energy by _______________ of fats.
- Oxidation
- Melting
- Dissolution
- Diffusion
Correct Answer

A. Oxidation

Explanation

Muscles generate energy by the process of oxidation. During oxidation, fats are broken down and converted into energy that can be used by the muscles. This process involves the reaction of fats with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main source of energy for muscle contractions. Therefore, oxidation is the correct answer as it accurately describes the mechanism by which muscles generate energy from fats.

9.

The movement of the actin against myosin causes ______________________ .
- Expansion
- Protusion
- Contraction
- Death of the muscle
Correct Answer

A. Contraction

Explanation

When actin moves against myosin, it causes contraction. This is due to the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, where the actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments, causing the muscle to shorten and generate force. This contraction allows muscles to generate movement and perform various functions in the body.

___________________________ is the formation of muscle tissues.
- Locomotive formation
- Myogenesis
- Anaerobic production
- Aerobic production
Correct Answer

A. Myogenesis

Explanation

Myogenesis is the process of formation and development of muscle tissues. It involves the differentiation of myoblasts into mature muscle cells, which then fuse together to form muscle fibers. This process is essential for muscle growth and repair. Locomotive formation refers to the formation of locomotives or vehicles for transportation and is not related to muscle tissues. Anaerobic and aerobic production refer to energy production in the absence and presence of oxygen, respectively, and are not directly related to the formation of muscle tissues.
