Section E [1x4- 4M]

 Case Based study question answer :-

Muscular tissue consists of elongated cells, also Called muscles fibres. This
tissue is responsible for movement in our body. Muscles contain" Special
proteins called contractile proteins, which contract and relax to cause
movement."
We can move some muscles by conscious will. Such muscles are called voluntary
muscles. These muscles are also called Skeletal muscles as they are mostly
attached to bones and help in body movement. Under the microscope, these
muscles show alternate light and dark bands or striations, hence, they are also
called striated muscles. The cells of this! tissue are long, cylindrical, unbranched
and multinucleate.
The movement of food in the alimentary canal or the contraction and relaxation
of blood vessels are involuntary movements. The smooth muscles or involuntary
muscles control such movements. They are also found in the iris of the eye, in
uterus and in the bronchi of the lungs.

1. Which of the following muscle tissue are voluntary in nature ?

i) Cardiac muscle ii)
Smooth muscle iii)
Autorhythmic muscle
iv) None of these

2. The muscles whose contraction is under our control are know as :

i) Voluntary muscles ii)
Involuntary muscles iii)
Cardiac muscles iv)
Unstrained muscle

3. Give the characteristic of striated muscles.

4. Give the features of unstriated muscles.
