Q1 — Types of Movement & Muscle · easy · theory
The muscle type that is voluntary, striated and attached to bones is:
A. Cardiac muscle
B. Smooth muscle
C. Involuntary muscle
D. Skeletal muscle ✓ Correct
Solution: Skeletal (striated) muscle is voluntary and moves the bones of the skeleton.

A. Smooth muscle
B. Visceral muscle
C. Cardiac muscle ✓ Correct
D. Skeletal muscle
Solution: Cardiac muscle is striated yet involuntary and does not fatigue.
Q3 — Types of Movement & Muscle · medium · theory
Amoeboid movement in humans (e.g. by macrophages and leucocytes) is brought about by:
A. Muscle contraction
B. Flagella
C. Pseudopodia formed by streaming of protoplasm (microfilaments) ✓ Correct
D. Cilia
Solution: Amoeboid movement uses pseudopodia formed by cytoskeletal filaments (actin), as in WBCs and macrophages.
Q4 — Types of Movement & Muscle · medium · theory
Smooth (unstriated) muscle is found in the walls of internal organs such as the:
A. Alimentary canal and blood vessels ✓ Correct
B. Heart only
C. Limbs
D. Tongue
Solution: Smooth muscle is involuntary, non-striated, and lines hollow visceral organs (gut, blood vessels, etc.).

A. Trachea and Fallopian tubes; mucus/ova respectively ✓ Correct
B. Heart; blood only
C. Limbs; bones
D. Brain; neurons
Solution: Cilia line the respiratory tract (move dust-laden mucus) and oviducts (move the ovum).
