Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Contraction begins as the calcium ions combine with troponin, a reaction that overcomes the in-hibitory function of the troponin-tropomyosin system. Calcium, actin, and myosin all facilitate muscle contraction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Postural muscles have more type I fibers, allowing them the high resistance to fatigue that is nec-essary to maintain the same position for extended periods. The ocular muscles have more type II muscle fibers, allowing them to respond rapidly to visual changes.
Little contractibility or lacking a fascia lining is associated with type I muscle fibers.
