Out of 'X' pairs of ribs in humans only 'Y' pairs are true ribs. Select the option that correctly represents values of X and Y and provides their explanation :

• X = 12, Y = 7
  True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and ventrally to the sternum

• X = 12, Y = 5
  True ribs are attached dorsally to vertebral column and sternum on the two ends

• X = 24, Y = 7
  True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free onventral side

• X = 24, Y = 7
  True ribs are dorsally attached to vertebral column but are free onventral side

Calcium is important in skeletal muscle contraction because it

• Binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin.

• Activates the myosin ATPase by binding to it.

• Prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and the actin filament.

• Detaches the myosin head from the actin filament.

• ATP

Dense regular connective tissue is present in

Sliding filament theory can be best explained as

• When myofilaments slide pass each other actin filaments shorten while myosin filament does not shorten

• Actin-myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other

• Actin and myosin filaments do not shorten, but rather slide pass each other

• When myofilament slide passes each other myosin filament shorten while actin filament do not shorten.
