🗑
2 Other names for skeletal muscle?   striated and voluntary  
🗑
2 Other kinds of skeletal muscle?   Cardiac & smooth  
🗑
- dark bands where plasma membranes of adjacent cardiac fibers come in contact with each other   intercalated disks  
🗑
Which muscle fibers are tapered at each end, have a single nucleus and lack cross stripes or striations of skeletal muscles   Smooth muscle  
🗑
This muscle circulates blood?   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
This type of muscle is responsible for moving food into and through the stomach and intestines.   smooth  
🗑
-muscle attachment to the more stationary bone   Orgin  
🗑
-attachment to the more moveable bone   insertion  
🗑
-attach muscles firmly to bone   tendons  
🗑
-fluid filled sacs that lie btwn some tendons and bones beneath them   bursae  
🗑

🗑
form thin myofilaments   actin  
🗑
basic funtional unit of skeletal muscle   sacromere  
🗑
basic building block of skeletal muscle   sacromere  
🗑
3 functions of the muscular system   movement, posture or muscle tone, heat production  
🗑
-one thats mainly responsible for producting a particular movement   prime mover  
🗑
-enables body to maintain body position bc of low strength continuous muscle contraction/doesn't move body parts   tonic contraction  
🗑
-stimulates muscle fibers   motor neuron  
🗑
-point of contact btwn the nerve ending and the muscle fiber   neuromuscular  
🗑
single motor neuron with the muscle fibers   motor unit  
🗑
min level of stimulation required to cause a fiber to contract   threshold stimulus  
🗑
more sustained and steady response than a twitch   tetanic contraction  
🗑
muscle produces movement at a joint   isotonic contraction  
🗑
insertion end moves toward the point of origin   concentric contraction  
🗑
muscle produces tension as it lengthens and thus the insertion moves away from the origin   eccentric contraction  
🗑
when muscle does not shorten and no movement results internal tension increases   isometric contraction
