(a) Muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils.The filaments of myofibrils consist of two types, thick and thin. The thick filaments are made of the potein myosin. The thin filaments are made of the protein actin.
So, the statement is true.
(b) The region of a striated muscle fibre that contains only thick (myosin) filaments is the H zone. It appears as a lighter band in the middle of the dark A band at the centre of a sarcomere.
So, the statement is false. H-zone of striated muscle fibre represents thick filament.
(c) The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth which decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together.
So, the statement is true.
(d) Ribs are the long curved bones which form the rib cage. They protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. There are 24 ribs in the human body, divided into two sets of 12 curved, flat bones.
So, the statement is false. There are 12 pairs of ribs in man.
(e) The sternum or breastbone is a long flat bone shaped located in the center of the chest. It lies at the anterior (ventral) middle part of the chest.
So, the statement is true.

Male and Female Reproductive System Male Reproductive System Critical Thinking: A 38-year-old male is upset about his low sperm count and visits a "practitioner" who commonly advertises cures for sterility. The practitioner is a quack who treats low sperm count with megadoses of testosterone. Although his patients experience a huge surge in libido, their sperm count is even lower after treatment. a) Which two glands would be responsive to the megadose of testosterone? b) Identify the two hormones that would be affected by the megadose of testosterone. Would their levels increase or decrease? c) What role, if any, would either of the affected hormones have on the man's reduced sperm count? Female Reproductive System Critical Thinking: Teresa, a 38-year-old mother of seven children, visited her physician complaining of a feeling in her pelvis, low backache, urinary incontinence, vaginal discharge, low-grade fever, severe abdominal pain, and vaginal keloids. A vaginal examination showed that the external os of the cervix was just inside the vaginal orifice. Her history revealed that she was a member of a commune that shunned possible hospital births. a) Use correct anatomical terminology to help Teresa understand her medical problems related to the "bearing down" pain. b) Explain to Teresa what caused her to have the symptoms of low backache and "bearing down" pain. c) Teresa wants to know if her recent fever and vaginal discharge are related to her first set of symptoms. If so, what is the connection between the two sets of symptoms?

Complete the steps of the contraction of a skeletal muscle cell: A motor neuron releases neurotransmitters onto ion channels in the sarcolemma. The channels open and sodium ions move into the cell (primarily) creating a depolarizing potential. If enough ions diffuse (reach threshold level), voltage-gated sodium channels in the sarcolemma will open in a wavelike fashion all over the sarcolemma and down the T-tubules (action potential). The voltage wave in the T-tubules activates voltage-sensing Ca++ channels (dihydropyridine receptor -DHP). The DHP receptors are mechanically linked to Ca++ release channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum called ryanodine channels. These channels open and stored calcium ions rush out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm. Ca++ binds to troponin, and this protein will "roll over" moving the tropomyosin off the active sites on the actin filaments (exposure of active sites). The myosin heads will attach to the active sites in the actin filaments and inorganic phosphate is released. This binding is called cross-bridge formation. ATP is released and myosin "pulls" the actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere (pivoting of myosin heads). This step is called power stroke. ADP binds to the myosin head and myosin detaches from actin (detachment). Myosin head splits ATP into ADP and Pi through hydrolysis (myosin reactivation). More cross bridges can be formed... The sarcolemma repolarizes and hyperpolarizes due to the opening of potassium channels. Potassium diffuses out of the cell.
