(Question 3) A smooth, sustained contraction, with no evidence of relaxation, is called ________.
 
  A) fused, or complete, tetanus
  B) a twitch
  C) unfused, or incomplete, tetanus
  D) summing of contractions



(Question 4) The arrangement of lamellae around central (Haversian) canals forms osteons (Haversian systems).

(Question 6) Two basic types of bone tissue are compact bone and smooth bone.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false



(Question 7) According to the sliding filament theory, how does muscle contraction occur?
 
  A) Myosin heads form cross bridges and pull thin filaments, causing them to slide.
  B) Both thick and thin filaments shorten as the muscle contracts.
  C) A bands bunch up and shorten as myosin heads attach to thin filaments.
  D) Myosin heads attach and detach from thin filaments, causing thin filaments to shorten.

  Indicate whether the statement is true or false
