UDAAN SHEET: 109___ DATE: 25.11.2023

Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The
peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal
muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The
basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated
(having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle
fibers.

Smooth Muscle
Smooth muscle, found in the walls of the hollow internal organs such as blood
vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, and uterus, is under control of the
autonomic nervous system. Smooth muscle cannot be controlled consciously and
thus acts involuntarily. The non-striated (smooth) muscle cell is spindle-shaped
and has one central nucleus. Smooth muscle contracts slowly and rhythmically.

Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac muscle, found in the walls of the heart, is also under control of the
autonomic nervous system. The cardiac muscle cell has one central nucleus, like
smooth muscle, but it also is striated, like skeletal muscle. The cardiac muscle cell
is rectangular in shape. The contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary, strong,
and rhythmical.

Answers to Udaan sheet no.109 with Hints

1. Answer: (d) 3
Explanation: The human body has various types of cells which have different
morphologies and perform specific functions. The cells have mainly three types of
movement- amoeboid, ciliary and muscular.
2. Answer: (b) Ca
Explanation: Calcium is the essential for the muscle contraction as release of
calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum trigger the muscle contraction.
3. Answer: (b) Leucocytes
Explanation: The three types of blood corpuscles are erythrocytes or red blood
cells, leucocytes or white blood cells and thrombocytes or blood platelets.
Leucocytes or white blood cells show amoeboid movement.
4. Answer: (c) Ciliary
Explanation: The most common types of movements seen in cells of the human
body are amoeboid, ciliary and muscular. The passage of ova through oviducts
involves ciliary movement due to the presence of cilia.
5. Answer: (b) Contractility
Explanation: The most common types of movements seen in cells of the human
body are amoeboid, ciliary and muscular. Muscular movement relies on the
contractile property of muscles, which is essential for locomotion.
6. Answer: (c) 40-50%
Explanation: 40-50% of the total body weight of an adult human is contributed by
muscles. Muscles are required for numerous processes of the body in order to
survive and locomote. They are of mesodermal origin.
7. Answer: (b) Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal
Explanation: Cardiac, Smooth and Skeletal are the three types of muscles.
8. Answer: (a) Collagen

UDAAN SHEET: 109 CLASS: 11 SUBJECT: Biology DATE: 25.11.2023

Explanation: Fascia is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds the fascicles or

muscle bundles in a muscle. It is made out of collagen. Each muscle bundle
contains a number of muscle fibres or muscle cells.
9. Answer: (c) Myofibrils
Explanation: Each muscle cell or muscle fibre contains filaments in its sarcoplasm
which are arranged in a parallel manner. These filaments are known as myofibrils
and they have alternate dark and light bands.
10. Answer: (d) Calcium
Explanation: The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the endoplasmic reticulum present in
the sarcoplasm of the muscle cell or the muscle fibre. The sarcoplasmic reticulum
contains a large number of calcium ions.
11. Answer: (c) ‘M’ line
Explanation: The myosin filaments or the thick filaments are held together by the
‘M’ line. The ‘M’ line is present in the middle of the ‘A’ band or the anisotropic band
or the dark band, and is thin and fibrous.
12. Answer: (c) muscles
Explanation: The tight, thick band of the fibrous tissue which joins muscle to bone
is termed as a tendon. Collagen fibres make up tendon tissue.
13. Answer: (b) ATPase
Explanation: Each thick filament is made of meromyosins, which are monomeric
proteins. Each meromyosin has a globular head with a short arm and a tail. The
globular head of the meromyosin is an ATPase.
14. Answer: (a) Motor neuron + muscle fibres
Explanation: Muscle fibres connected to a motor neuron make up a motor unit. The
motor neuron carries an impulse from the CNS or the central nervous system
which stimulates the muscle to contract.

15. Answer: (d) Acetylcholine

Explanation: Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It is a chemical compound that
helps in the transmission of signals or impulses to and from the CNS or the central
nervous system via the neurons.
16. Answer: (d) Exercise
Explanation: The muscles become stronger when we exercise daily.
17. Answer: (c) Action potential
Explanation: Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It is a chemical compound that
helps in the transmission of impulses. Acetylcholine generates action potential in
the sarcolemma which spreads through the muscle fibre.
18. Answer: (d) Due to lactic acid accumulation
Explanation: The repeated activation of the muscles leads to the anaerobic
breakdown of glycogen. This takes place due to the unavailability of oxygen. This
results in the formation of lactic acid, which accumulates and causes fatigue.
19. Answer: (c) Myoglobin
Explanation: Myoglobin is present in the muscle fibres. It is red in colour. The
function of myoglobin is to store oxygen, so that it is readily available for providing
energy in the form of ATP for the proper functioning of muscles.
20. Answer: (c) Voluntary movements of body
Explanation: Body movements like typing, extending the arm, breathing, writing,
and so on are all controlled by the skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction creates
movement by pulling on the tendons on the bones.
