Hello everyone,

I am having my intro to human physiology exam in the end of this week,
in order to feel more prepared, I am wondering if anyone has any good sets
of multiple choice questions on muscle physiology?
Questions related to skeletal, cardiac, smooth, myosin, actin, cross bridges, sarcomere would be worthy!
my textbook is by Silverthorn and the publishing is by Pearson.

thank you all!
