Question

Three types of muscles are given as a, b and c. Identify the correct matching pair along with their location in human body:

Name of muscle/location
(1) (a) Smooth - Toes
(b) Skeletal – Legs
(c) Cardiac – Heart

(2) (a) Skeletal - Triceps
(b) Smooth – Stomach
(c) Cardiac – Heart

(3) (a) Skeletal - Biceps
(b) Involuntary – Intestine
(c) Smooth – Heart

(4) (a) Involuntary – Nose tip
(b) Skeletal – Bone
(c) Cardiac – Heart

Answer 1

Correct option is (2) (a) Skeletal - Triceps
                                 (b) Smooth – Stomach
                                 (c) Cardiac – Heart

Figure (a) represents skeletal muscle fibres which are closely attached to skeletal bones. In a typical muscle such as triceps and biceps, striated muscle fibres are bundled together in a parallel fashion. 

Figure (b) represents smooth muscle fibres which are present in the wall of internal organs such as the blood vessels, stomach and intestine. 

Figure (c) represents cardiac muscle fibres which are exclusively present in the heart.
