Which of the following statements are correct regarding skeletal muscle? A. Muscle bundles are held together by collagenous connective tissue layer called fascicle. B. Sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibre is a storehouse of calcium ions. C. Striated appearance of skeletal muscle fibre is due to the distribution pattern of actin and myosin proteins. D. M line is considered as the functional unit of contraction called sarcomere. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A, B and C only
B and C only
A, C and D only
C and D only
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement regarding skeletal muscle:A. Muscle bundles are held together by collagenous connective tissue layer called fascicle. - This statement is incorrect. The term "fascicle" refers to a bundle of muscle fibers, not the connective tissue. The connective tissue that holds muscle bundles together is called the "epimysium."B. Sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibre is a storehouse of calcium ions. - This statement is correct. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is an organelle in muscle cells that stores calcium ions, which are essential for muscle contraction.
