Q:

A Sarcomere is the distance between two

A) Z discs B) H zones
C) A bands D) I bands
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Z discs

Explanation:

A sarcomere is the basic unit of striated muscle tissue. It is the repeating unit between two Z lines.

Skeletal muscles are composed of tubular muscle cells (myocytes called muscle fibers or myofibers) which are formed in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibers contain numerous tubular myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of repeating sections of sarcomeres, which appear under the microscope as alternating dark and light bands. Sarcomeres are composed of long, fibrous proteins as filaments that slide past each other when a muscle contracts or relaxes.

 

A muscle fiber from a biceps muscle may contain 100,000 sarcomeres.

Q:

Which statement best describes Arteries?

A) They have thin walls and transport blood away from the heart B) They have thick walls and transport blood toward the heart
C) They have thin walls and transport blood toward the heart D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart

Explanation:

Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.

i.e. 

Arteries = Away from the Heart 
Veins = Back to the Heart.
