Question | Answer |
---|---|
cardiac muscle is found in the | heart |
what muscle is generally attached to bone; voluntary | skeletal muscle |
what muscle is found in the walls of the viscera, the lining of the bronchial tubes and blood vessles? involuntary | smooth muscle |
stiated and voluntary | skeletal muscle |
the only type of muscle that is voluntary | skeletal muscle |
must be supplied by a somatic motor nerve | skeletal muscle |
contains intercalated discs | cardiac muscle |
only type of muscle that is nonstriated | smooth muscle |
a sustained muscle contration; the muscle does not relax | tetanus |
refers to the increase in the strength of muscle contration due to the stimilation of additional muscle fibers | recruitment |
the location of the vesicles that store neurotransmitters= | axon terminal |
the nuerotransmitter junction (NMJ) | acetylcholine |
the enzyme that terminates the effects of the neurotransmitter at the NMJ | acetylcholinesterase |
cord like structure that attaches muscle to bone | tendon |
flat, sheetlike fascia that attaches muscle to muscle or muscle to bone | aponeurosis |
small bundles of muscle fiber | fascicles |
muscle attachment to the more moveable bone | insertion |
muscle attachment to the more stationary bone | origin |
series of contractile units that make up each myofobril; extends from z line to z line | sacromere |
energy source for muscle contraction | ATP |
refers to the inability of the catin and myosin to disconnect following the death ofa person | rigor mortis |
calcium is stored within this structure when the muscle is relaxed | sarcoplasmic reticulum |
buttock | gluteal |
brevis | short |
diagonal | oblique |
large | maximus |
straight | rectus |
huge | vastus |
chest | pectoralis |
arm | brachii |
wide | latissimus |
triangular | deltiod |

flat muscle that raises the eyebrows and wrinklesthe forehead; creates a surprised look | frontalis |
sphincter muscle encircling the mouth, called "kissing muscle" | orbiculis oris |
chewing muscle that works synergistically with the temporalis muscles to close the jaw | masseter |
extends from the corners of the mouth to the cheekbone called the smiling muscle | zygomaticus |
flat fan shaped muscle that extends from the temporal bone to the mandible, it works synergestically with other chewing muscles | temporalis |
lifts the eyelid | levator palpebrae superioris |
