What are the sequential steps in the formation and breakage of a cross-bridge in muscle contraction?
| 1. | Myosin head hydrolyzes ATP, attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, and releases ADP. |
| 2. | Myosin head binds to ATP, detaches from actin, hydrolyzes ATP, and reattaches to actin. |
| 3. | Myosin head releases ADP, binds to ATP, detaches from actin, and hydrolyzes ATP. |
| 4. | Myosin head attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, binds ATP, and then detaches from actin. |

Which statement is true regarding the types of ribs in humans?
| 1. | All ribs are connected directly to the sternum. |
| 2. | True ribs connect directly to the sternum via their own costal cartilages, while false ribs share cartilages. |
| 3. | All ribs are termed false ribs because they do not attach to the sternum. |
| 4. | Floating ribs are attached to the vertebral column only and do not have any cartilage. |
