UNIT – I: Skeletal System and Joints

MCQ with explanation.


MCQ 1: Which of the following bones is part of the axial skeleton?
A. Femur
B. Humerus
C. Sternum
D. Pelvis
Correct Answer: C. Sternum
Explanation: The sternum (breastbone) is part of the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.

MCQ 2: Which type of bone cell is responsible for breaking down bone tissue?
A. Osteoblast
B. Osteocyte
C. Osteoclast
D. Chondrocyte
Correct Answer: C. Osteoclast
Explanation: Osteoclasts break down bone tissue during bone resorption and remodeling.

MCQ 3: What is the outer layer of a bone called?
A. Periosteum
B. Endosteum
C. Marrow
D. Cartilage
Correct Answer: A. Periosteum
Explanation: The periosteum is a dense membrane covering the outer surface of bones except at the joints.

MCQ 4: Which of the following is a fibrous joint?
A. Skull suture
B. Knee
C. Shoulder
D. Elbow
Correct Answer: A. Skull suture
Explanation: Skull sutures are immovable fibrous joints found between bones of the skull.

MCQ 5: Which joint type allows rotation around a single axis?
A. Ball and socket
B. Saddle
C. Hinge
D. Pivot
Correct Answer: D. Pivot
Explanation: Pivot joints, such as the joint between the atlas and axis vertebrae, allow rotational movement.

MCQ 6: Which bone protects the brain?
A. Sternum
B. Femur
C. Cranium
D. Scapula
Correct Answer: C. Cranium
Explanation: The cranium (part of the skull) protects the brain.

MCQ 7: What initiates muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction?
A. Calcium
B. Sodium
C. Acetylcholine
D. Potassium
Correct Answer: C. Acetylcholine
Explanation: Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction to initiate muscle contraction.

MCQ 8: Which connective tissue connects muscles to bones?
A. Ligaments
B. Cartilage
C. Tendons
D. Fascia
Correct Answer: C. Tendons
Explanation: Tendons attach muscles to bones and transmit the force needed for movement.

MCQ 9: Which muscle tissue is involuntary and found in the walls of internal organs?
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Smooth muscle
C. Cardiac muscle
D. Voluntary muscle
Correct Answer: B. Smooth muscle
Explanation: Smooth muscle is involuntary and found in walls of internal organs such as the stomach and intestines.

MCQ 10: Which protein blocks the myosin-binding sites on actin in a resting muscle?
A. Troponin
B. Tropomyosin
C. Myoglobin
D. Creatine
Correct Answer: B. Tropomyosin
Explanation: Tropomyosin covers the binding sites on actin filaments and prevents muscle contraction when the muscle is at rest.

MCQ 11: Which part of the skeleton includes the limbs?
A. Axial skeleton
B. Appendicular skeleton
C. Vertebral column
D. Skull
Correct Answer: B. Appendicular skeleton
Explanation: The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs and girdles (shoulder and pelvic).

MCQ 12: Which bone is the longest in the human body?
A. Humerus
B. Tibia
C. Femur
D. Radius
Correct Answer: C. Femur
Explanation: The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the human body.

MCQ 13: What type of joint is found in the shoulder and hip?
A. Hinge
B. Ball and socket
C. Pivot
D. Gliding
Correct Answer: B. Ball and socket
Explanation: Ball and socket joints allow movement in multiple directions and are found in the shoulder and hip.

MCQ 14: Which structure stores calcium in a muscle cell?
A. Sarcolemma
B. Myofibril
C. Sarcoplasmic reticulum
D. T-tubule
Correct Answer: C. Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium ions, which are essential for muscle contraction.

MCQ 15: Which muscle type has striations and is under voluntary control?
A. Smooth
B. Skeletal
C. Cardiac
D. Involuntary
Correct Answer: B. Skeletal
Explanation: Skeletal muscle is striated and controlled voluntarily.

MCQ 16: What is the functional unit of a skeletal muscle fiber?
A. Myofibril
B. Sarcomere
C. Fascicle
D. Actin
Correct Answer: B. Sarcomere
Explanation: The sarcomere is the basic contractile unit of muscle fiber, composed of actin and myosin filaments.

MCQ 17: What connects two bones at a joint?
A. Tendon
B. Ligament
C. Cartilage
D. Fascia
Correct Answer: B. Ligament
Explanation: Ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones at joints and help stabilize them.

MCQ 18: What causes the 'lub-dub' sound in the heart, often confused with muscles?
A. Contraction of muscles
B. Opening of valves
C. Closing of valves
D. Movement of blood
Correct Answer: C. Closing of valves
Explanation: Though related to the cardiovascular system, the heart sound is due to the closing of valves—not muscles.

MCQ 19: Which joint provides the least range of motion?
A. Hinge joint
B. Ball and socket
C. Fibrous joint
D. Gliding joint
Correct Answer: C. Fibrous joint
Explanation: Fibrous joints (like skull sutures) are immovable and provide minimal range of motion.

MCQ 20: Which part of the bone contains red bone marrow?
A. Compact bone
B. Yellow marrow
C. Periosteum
D. Spongy bone
Correct Answer: D. Spongy bone
Explanation: Spongy bone, found at the ends of long bones and inside flat bones, contains red marrow where blood cells are produced.
