• ipsilateral reflex

• flexor reflex

• patellar reflex

182.

Achondroplasia is a disease related with the defect in the formation of

• membrane

• cartilage

• mucosa

• none of these

Assertion: On stimulation, a muscle cell releases calcium ions (Ca²⁺) from sarcoplasmic
reticulum.

Reason: By reacting with a protein complex, Ca uncover active sites on the actin filaments

Which one of the following is not a mammalian character?

• Presence of milk producing glands

• Skin is unique in possessing hair

• Presence of external ears called pinnae

• Homodont type of dentition

The H-zone in the skeletal muscle fibre is due to

• the central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band

• extension of myosin filaments in the central portion ofthe A-band

• the absence of myofibrils in the central portion of A-band

• the central gap between myosin filaments in the A-band.

Select the correct option regarding A, B and C.

• A-Tropomyosin-runs close to F-actin throughout its length

• B-Troponin-complex protein distributed at regular interval of tropomyosin

• C-F actin-polymer of monomeric G-actin helically bound to each other

• None of these

Assertion: In a pivot joint, rounded or pointed bone fits into a shallow depression in another bone.

Reason: Pivot joints are present between the metacarpals and phalanges of the fingers.

• Length of both anisotropic and isotropic band has changed.

• The myosin cross-bridges move on the surface of actin and the thin and thick myofilaments slide past each other.

• Length of the sarcomere remains same.
