Questions with solutions
Q1 — Muscular Tissue · easy · theory
Muscle fibres attached to bones for voluntary movement are:
A. Cardiac muscle
B. Neural tissue
C. Smooth muscle
D. Skeletal (striated) muscle ✓ Correct
Solution: Skeletal muscles are striated, voluntary and attached to the skeleton; they bundle into muscle organs.
Q2 — Muscular Tissue · easy · theory
The muscle found exclusively in the wall of the heart is:
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Cardiac muscle ✓ Correct
C. Visceral muscle
D. Smooth muscle
Solution: Cardiac muscle is striated but involuntary and shows branching fibres with intercalated discs.
Q3 — Muscular Tissue · medium · theory
Smooth (unstriated) muscle is characterised as:
A. Present only in bones
B. Branched with intercalated discs
C. Involuntary, spindle-shaped, without striations — found in visceral organs ✓ Correct
D. Voluntary and striated
Solution: Smooth muscle lines hollow visceral organs (gut, blood vessels) and is involuntary and non-striated.
Q4 — Muscular Tissue · medium · theory
Intercalated discs, which allow synchronised contraction, are a feature of:
A. Tendons
B. Skeletal muscle
C. Smooth muscle
D. Cardiac muscle ✓ Correct
Solution: Intercalated discs are communication junctions unique to cardiac muscle, enabling coordinated heartbeats.
Q5 — Muscular Tissue · hard · theory
Which combination correctly describes skeletal muscle?
A. Striated, involuntary, branched
B. Non-striated, voluntary
C. Striated, voluntary, multinucleate, cylindrical fibres ✓ Correct
D. Non-striated, involuntary, uninucleate
Solution: Skeletal muscle fibres are long, cylindrical, striated, multinucleate and under voluntary control.
Q6 — Muscular Tissue · hard · theory
The correct grouping of muscle by control is:
A. Skeletal and Cardiac — voluntary
B. All three voluntary
C. Only Smooth — voluntary
D. Skeletal — voluntary; Cardiac and Smooth — involuntary ✓ Correct
Solution: Only skeletal muscle is voluntary; both cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary.
