Types and Properties of Muscles — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe cells of the human body exhibit amoeboid, ciliary and muscular movements. Locomotion and many other movements require coordinated muscular activities. Three types of muscles are present in our body. Skeletal muscles are attached to skeletal elements. They appear striated and are voluntary in nature. Visceral muscles, present in the inner walls of visceral organs are nonstriated and involuntary. Cardiac muscles are the muscles of the heart. They are striated, branched and involuntary. Muscles possess excitability, contractility, extensibility and elasticity.
Three types of muscles are given as a, b and c. Identify the correct matching pair along with their location in human body. [NEET 2024]
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: B — Skeletal - Triceps; Smooth – Stomach; Cardiac – Heart
Skeletal (striated, voluntary) fibres anchor to bones like the triceps; smooth (unstriated, involuntary) fibres line hollow organs like the stomach; cardiac fibres form the heart wall.
