all



functions of muscles - correct answer✔✔body movement, maintaining posture, regulating
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




elimination of materials, heat production ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

perimysium - correct answer✔✔CT surrounding fascicle ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




endomysium - correct answer✔✔CT surrounds muscle fiber ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




origin - correct answer✔✔muscle tendon that attaches to the bone that remains stationary
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




during contraction ||\\//||

,Insertion - correct answer✔✔at the end of tendon, it attaches to the end of the bone, moves
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




toward origin when muscle contracts ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




myofibrils - correct answer✔✔cylindrical structures extending the entire length of the cell, ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




80% fiber volume, ability to shorten resulting in contraction of muscle fiber, think and thin
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




filaments



A band - correct answer✔✔everywhere thick filaments are present
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




H zone/band - correct answer✔✔only thick filament, no overlap, dark part
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




M line - correct answer✔✔center of H zone, middle of the sarcomere, two Z lines pull
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




toward this ||\\//||




I band - correct answer✔✔only have thin filaments
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Isometric - correct answer✔✔length of muscle remains constant ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




(winged scapulae and scoliosis), results in atrophy of the affected muscle, muscle fibers are
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




replaced by fibrous connective and fatty tissue, no cure ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - correct answer✔✔neurodegenerative disease affecting ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




motor neurons; loss of function leads to muscle weakness, atrophy, and spastic paralysis;
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
