The type of muscle tissue that is voluntary and striated is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of muscle tissue that is voluntary and striated is:
A. Smooth muscle
B. Cardiac muscle
C. Skeletal muscle
D. Visceral muscle
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones, is under voluntary control, and has a striated appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. Smooth muscle (visceral) is non-striated and involuntary, found in internal organs. Cardiac muscle is striated but involuntary, found only in the heart. Skeletal muscles are multinucleated.

Question #1
The function of the myelin sheath is to:
A. Insulate and increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction
B. Decrease the speed of nerve impulse
C. Store energy for the neuron
D. Produce neurotransmitters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Myelin, a lipid-rich sheath formed by Schwann cells (PNS) or oligodendrocytes (CNS), insulates axons, allowing saltatory conduction—impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to the next, greatly speeding up transmission. It also conserves energy. Demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis slow conduction.

Question #2
Consider statements about angiosperms: 1. They have enclosed seeds. 2. They exhibit double fertilization. 3. All angiosperms are trees. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Angiosperms are flowering plants where seeds are enclosed within a mature ovary (fruit). They are characterized by double fertilization, where one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the secondary nucleus. They exhibit immense diversity in habit, ranging from tiny aquatic Wolffia to massive trees, so not all are trees. Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
During inspiration, the diaphragm:
A. Remains unchanged
B. Contracts and flattens
C. Relaxes and becomes dome-shaped
D. Moves laterally

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Inspiration (inhalation) occurs when the intra-pulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the diaphragm, which flattens and moves downwards, and the contraction of external intercostal muscles, which lift the ribs and sternum. This increases the thoracic volume and lung capacity, drawing air in. Expiration involves relaxation of these muscles.
