Choose the correct statement based on diagram shown:
Options
- AA= Fascicle: held together by a common elastic connective tissue called fascia.
- BB= Muscle fibres: are syncytium that is sarcoplasm containing many nuclei.
- CC= Sarcolemma: Plasma membrane lining blood vessels.
- DB= Muscle fibre: present a large number of serially arranged filaments called myofibrils.
Correct answer
B. B= Muscle fibres: are syncytium that is sarcoplasm containing many nuclei.
Step-by-step solution
Each organised skeletal muscle in our body is made of a number of muscle bundles or fascicles held together by a common collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia. Each muscle bundle contains a number of muscle fibres Each muscle fibre is lined by the plasma membrane called sarcolemma enclosing the sarcoplasm. Muscle fibre is a syncitium as the sarcoplasm contains many nuclei. The endoplasmic reticulum, i.e., sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibres is the store house of calcium ions.
