Question

Three types of muscles are given as a, b and c. Identify the correct matching pair along with their location in human body:

Name of muscle/location

Options

• (a) Skeletal - Biceps
  (b) Involuntary - Intestine
  (c) Smooth - Heart

• (a) Involuntary - Nose tip
  (b) Skeletal - Bone
  (c) Cardiac - Heart

• (a) Smooth - Toes
  (b) Skeletal - Legs
  (c) Cardiac - Heart

• (a) Skeletal - Triceps
  (b) Smooth - Stomach
  (c) Cardiac - Heart

Answer 1

(a) Skeletal - Triceps
(b) Smooth - Stomach
(c) Cardiac - Heart

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle fibres, which are intimately linked to skeletal bones, are seen in Figure (a). Typical skeletal muscles like the biceps and triceps have parallel bundles of striated muscle fibres. The smooth muscle fibres found in the walls of internal organs such the stomach, intestines, bladder, and blood arteries are depicted in Figure (b). Cardiac muscle fibres, which are only found in the heart, are depicted in Figure (c).
