Muscular System starts at 6 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Muscular System.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
Describe the difference between a tendon and a ligament.
Describe what happens at the molecular level during muscle contraction.
Describe what would happen if acetylcholine was not removed from the neuromuscular junction after a muscle contraction.
Explain how the muscular system works with the skeletal system to produce movement.
Explain the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles, giving one example of each.
Explain the role of ATP in muscle contraction.
Explain why skeletal muscles appear striated under a microscope.

Fill in the blank: The largest muscle in the human body is the __________.
Fill in the blank: The muscle responsible for closing the jaw is the __________.
Fill in the blank: The point where a muscle attaches to a stationary bone is called the __________, and the point where it attaches to a moving bone is called the __________.
Fill in the blank: The process by which muscles increase in size due to exercise is called __________.
True or False: All muscles in the human body are attached to bones.
True or False: Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart.
True or False: Muscle fatigue occurs when muscles can no longer contract efficiently due to lack of oxygen and energy.
True or False: Smooth muscle can be found in the walls of blood vessels.
