Skeletal muscles show resemblance with visceral muscles in one aspect. It is in

• A. Shape of muscle fibres
• B. Number of nuclei in muscle fibres
• C. Presence of actin and myosin filaments
• D. Presence of light and dark band

Answer 1

The correct option is C Presence of actin and myosin filaments

The shape of the skeletal muscle is cylindrical, while that of visceral muscle is pear-shaped or spindle-shaped. Actin filaments which are thin filaments and myosin which are thick filaments are contractile proteins in the skeletal muscle as well as in the visceral muscle.
Thus, the correct answer is the option (C), 'Presence of actin and myosin filaments'.
