Question

Three types of muscles are given as a, b and c. Identify the correct matching pair along with their location in human body :

• (a) Smooth - Toes
  (b) Skeletal – Legs
  (c) Cardiac – Heart
• (a) Skeletal - Triceps
  (b) Smooth – Stomach
  (c) Cardiac – Heart
• (a) Skeletal - Biceps
  (b) Involuntary – Intestine
  (c) Smooth – Heart
• (a) Involuntary – Nose tip
  (b) Skeletal – Bone
  (c) Cardiac – Heart

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the context of human biology, the three main types of muscle tissues are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac, each having distinct characteristics and locations in the body.

• Skeletal Muscles: These are voluntary muscles attached to bones and are responsible for body movement. A common example is the muscles in the arms, such as the triceps and biceps.
• Smooth Muscles: These are involuntary muscles found in the walls of internal organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. They help in various functions like digestion and regulation of blood flow.
• Cardiac Muscles: These specialized muscles are found only in the heart. They are responsible for the continuous contraction necessary to pump blood throughout the body.

Given the options, the correct matching pair, based on the characteristics and location of each muscle type, is:

(a) Skeletal - Triceps

(b) Smooth – Stomach

(c) Cardiac – Heart

Answer 2

Classification of Muscle Types:

Skeletal muscle – Found in the triceps and is voluntary in nature. (a)

Smooth muscle – Found in the walls of the stomach and is involuntary. (b)

Cardiac muscle – Found in the heart and is involuntary. (c)

Thus, the correct answer is (2): (a) Skeletal – Triceps, (b) Smooth – Stomach, (c) Cardiac – Heart.
