Skeletal muscle bundles [fascicles] are held together by a common connective tissue layer called:

1. Perimysium

2. Endomysium

3. Fascia

4. Aponeurosis

During muscle contraction, the length of all the following gets reduced except:

1. H-Zone

2. A-Band

3. I-Band

4. Sacromere

What is true about the white muscle fibers?

1. Myoglobin content is high

2. They have a large number of mitochondria

3. They depend on anaerobic process for energy

4. They are adapted for slow sustained activities

The human ribs are termed as bicephalic because:

1. They have two articulations surfaces on their ventral end.

2. They have two articulations surfaces on their dorsal end.

3.  They have two articulations surfaces on their ventral end and two on the dorsal end.

4. They have two articulations surfaces on their ventral end and one on the dorsal end.

The clavicle is articulated with the:

1. Xiphoid process of the sternum

2. Acromion of the scapula

3. Glenoid cavity of the scapula

4. Head of the humerus
