Introduction:
There are three different types of muscle in the body, the cardiac, skeletal, and the smooth muscles. The muscles help in the movement of different body parts. They protect delicate organs from various injuries and provide shape to the body. The skeletal muscles particularly help in the movement of organs. There are 600 skeletal muscles in our body.
Answer to Problem 1TYK
Correct answer:
One body part rotates with respect to another body part.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/explanation for the correct answer:
Option (c) states that one part of the body may rotate with respect to another part. The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones from both sides of the muscles. Contraction in one muscle helps in the movement of different body parts. This depends on the point of attachment of the muscle. Hence, option (c) is correct.
Explanation for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) states that skeletal muscles are attached to bones with the help of ligaments. This statement is incorrect because skeletal muscles are attached to the bones with the help of cords of connective tissue known as tendons. So, it incorrect.
Option (b) states that bending of the vertebrate muscles do not extend the body parts. The extension of the body parts depends on the point of attachment of the vertebrate muscles to the bones by the tendons, so it extends the body parts according to the point of attachment. So, it incorrect.
Option (d) states that skeletal muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels and intestines. The smooth muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels, body cavities, and intestines. The skeletal muscle is stiff so it is not present in cavities or walls of blood vessels. So, it incorrect.
Option (e) states that cells of the skeletal muscles do not contain nuclei. This statement is incorrect because the nuclei are present in the cells of the skeletal muscles. It is also controlled by the somatic nervous system of our body so the nuclei must be present as it plays an important role in a cell. So, it incorrect.
Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
The skeletal muscles of our body are connected by tendons to different bones. The skeletal muscles help in the movement our body parts such as eyeballs, legs, hands, and so on. The movement of one body part may rotate another body part, depending upon the point of attachment of the muscle.

Select all that apply. The muscle fibers are parallel to one another and have a striated appearance. They have more mitochondria than other types of muscle cells. Each fiber contains many units of contraction and protein filaments. Cells are branched or unbranched with single nuclei. It consists of cylindrical cells called muscle fibers that have multiple nuclei.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is true? Tendons join bone to bone Tendons join muscle to bone and other structures Ligaments join bone to bone Ligaments join muscle to bone and other structures a. and b. b. and c.arrow_forwardThe human body has mainly two types of muscle fibres: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. The { slow or fast} twitch contract slowly and resist fatigue and produce most of their energy through { aerobic or anaerobis} rispiration. These muscle fibres are best used for activities like { weight lifting and playing tennis or biking and jogging} The { slow or fast} twitch are adapted for the rapid regeneration of power. They can best be used in activities such as { weight lifting and playing tennis or biking and jogging}. They are rich in glycogen and depend on { aerobic or anaerobis} rispiration. to produce energy. This leaves them vulnerable to the accumulation of lactate and they fatigue quickly. which one are those? the answersarrow_forwardSmooth muscle can be found in the ____. walls of the bronchioles and blood vessels walls of the heart diaphragm synovial cavities of joints All of these structures contain smooth muscle. 2. Smooth muscle cells _____. each have a single neuromuscular junction where all of their receptors for neurotransmitter are located have receptors for neurotransmitters widely distributed over their entire membranes only respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine 3.
