Which of the following is the swiftest form of the locomotion?
Correct answer: C. Unguligrade
- A. Plantigrade
- B. Digitigrade
- C. Unguligrade
- D. Hopping
Explanation
Unguligrade animals walk on the tips of their digits, often enclosed in hooves, which lengthens the effective limb and permits the greatest running speed. Students may choose b because digitigrade animals such as dogs and cats are also fast, but unguligrade locomotion is generally considered the swiftest of these foot postures.

It explains the sliding filament mechanism, sarcomere shortening, neuromuscular transmission and calcium regulation, while distinguishing voluntary skeletal movement from involuntary contraction in smooth and cardiac muscle.
