Consider the following statements regarding Muscle Tissue: 1. Each muscle is made of numerous fine fibrils, called myofibrils. 2. Smooth muscles are voluntary as their functioning can be directly controlled. 3. Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present only in the heart. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements regarding Muscle Tissue: 1. Each muscle is made of numerous fine fibrils, called myofibrils. 2. Smooth muscles are voluntary as their functioning can be directly controlled. 3. Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present only in the heart. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 and 3 only
- Each muscle is made of many long, cylindrical fibres arranged in parallel arrays.
- These fibres are composed of numerous fine fibrils, called myofibrils. Hence statement 1 is correct
- Muscle fibres contract (shorten) in response to stimulation, then relax (lengthen) and return to their uncontracted state in a coordinated fashion.
- Smooth muscles are ‘involuntary’ as their functioning cannot be directly controlled. Hence statement 2 is not correct
- We usually are not able to make it contract merely by thinking about it as we can do with skeletal muscles.
- Cardiac muscle tissue is a contractile tissue present only in the heart. Hence statement 3 is correct.
