movement, posture, and heat production The muscles system provides:
skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle There are three kinds of muscle:
skeletal muscle
cardiac muscle
smooth muscle
striated__________________________________________________ refers to the distinct, orderly, striped pattern of the skeletal muscle
voluntary muscles The skeletal muscles make up the _________ _.
voluntary muscles _____________________________________________ are the muscles that can be controlled consciously.
Ex. The diaphragm, all muscles that move the bone, and the tongue
multinucleated The thin cells that make up the skeletal muscles are _____ , meaning multiple
nuclei
Heart Cardiac muscle is only found in the ____
involuntary muscles, multinucleated, and striated Cardiac muscles are _______ , meaning you have no conscious control over
them; the cells are not normally _________; and these muscles are also _____ _.
involuntary, non-striated, nucleus Smooth muscles are ______, ___-_____, cells are small and have only one ___ _. These
muscles enables the internal organs to do their job.
contractility, excitability, extensibility, and elasticity The muscle system has been designed with four incredibly amazing
characteristics:
contractility The ability to contract (shorten) forcefully
, excitability, excitable cells This characteristic is from the cells that have the signal action potential. The
action potential signals the muscle cells to contract. The cells that produce the
potential signal in response to the stimulus are ____ _.
extensibility The ability to passively stretch out and also to relax
elasticity The ability when extended the tendency to shorten or recoil back
by a tendon but never directly Muscles connect to the bone how?
dense regular connective tissue Tendons are made up of what?
fibers the individual cells of the muscle are called ____ because they are very long
and thin
muscle cell When you hear muscle fiber, you need to automatically translate it to_________.
endomysium Each fiber (cell) is wrapped in a thin collagen layer called ___ _.
fascicles Muscle is made up of bundles of endomysium wrapped fibers
perimysium Each fascicle is wrapped in a collagen layer called ___ _.
