Sarcology Sarcology Study of soft tissues, particularly muscles and their structure, function, and associated aspects in anatomy. Start QuizPage 1 of 10 What does sarcology primarily study? Bone structure and function Blood vessels and circulation Soft tissues, especially muscles Nervous system pathways Page 2 of 10 Which type of muscle tissue is primarily studied in sarcology? Cardiac muscle only Smooth muscle only Skeletal muscle primarily, but also includes cardiac and smooth muscles Nervous tissue Page 3 of 10 In sarcology, the term "sarcomere" refers to which of the following? The connective tissue layer surrounding the muscle The basic functional unit of a muscle fiber A nerve ending attached to the muscle The outer covering of the bone attached to the muscle Page 4 of 10 Which protein is responsible for the thick filaments in a sarcomere? Actin Myosin Tropomyosin Troponin Page 5 of 10 Which layer of connective tissue surrounds an entire muscle? Endomysium Perimysium Epimysium Sarcolemma Page 6 of 10 In sarcology, what is the role of the sarcolemma? It is the contractile unit of the muscle fiber. It is the plasma membrane surrounding a muscle cell. It is a protein that facilitates muscle contraction. It is a structure that stores calcium ions. Page 7 of 10 What is the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells? To produce energy for muscle contraction To store calcium ions essential for muscle contraction To transmit nerve signals to the sarcomere To connect muscle fibers with tendons Page 8 of 10 Which of the following structures serves as the point of attachment for actin filaments within the sarcomere? Z-line (Z-disc) M-line H-zone A-band Page 9 of 10 During muscle contraction, which of the following statements about sarcomere structure is true? The Z-lines move apart. The sarcomere length remains constant. The A-band lengthens. The I-band and H-zone decrease in size. Page 10 of 10 What is the primary role of ATP in muscle contraction? It binds to actin to initiate contraction. It releases calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It provides the energy needed to detach myosin heads from actin filaments. It stabilizes the sarcomere structure.
