Question 4

A patient with excessive cartilage at the epiphyseal plates resulting in tall stature and long, slender limbs is most likely suffering from which condition?

Accepted Answer

Marfan's syndrome

Question 5

Question 7

Which cell type is responsible for dissolving bone matrix and releasing calcium into the blood?

Accepted Answer

Osteoclasts

Question 8

A child presents with short, stocky limbs but a normal trunk due to slow growth and early fusion of epiphyseal cartilages. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Which connective tissue layer surrounds individual muscle fibers?

Accepted Answer

Endomysium

Question 10

Which type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs and is under involuntary control?

Accepted Answer

Smooth muscle

Question 11

What is the role of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at the neuromuscular junction?

Accepted Answer

Breaks down acetylcholine to terminate the signal

Question 12

Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of events in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle?

Accepted Answer

Tropomyosin

Question 14

Which structure in a muscle fiber acts as a calcium reservoir and is essential for muscle contraction?

Accepted Answer

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Question 15

A patient with reduced epiphyseal cartilage activity, short bones, and pituitary hormone deficiency is most likely experiencing which condition?

Accepted Answer

Pituitary growth failure

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{High blood } Ca$$^{2+}$$ ightarrow 	ext{Calcitonin release} ightarrow 	ext{Bone deposition}$$

Question 17

Which of the following best describes the role of osteoblasts in bone tissue?

Accepted Answer

Build bone matrix and increase mineral concentration

Question 18

Which connective tissue structure attaches muscle to bone and is composed of dense regular connective tissue?

Accepted Answer

Tendon

Question 19

Which of the following is TRUE regarding cardiac muscle cells?

Accepted Answer

They are short, branched, striated, and connected by intercalated discs

Question 20

Which event occurs immediately after acetylcholine binds to receptors on the sarcolemma?

Accepted Answer
