Name the three types of muscles
Skeletal, Smooth & Cardiac
Is Skeletal muscle voluntary?
Yes
Some identifying features of this muscle are it is present, single nucleus, well developed transverse troubles seperating adjacent cells
Cardiac
Is smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Involuntary
This muscle’s identifying features are absent; single nucleus lacks transverse tubules
Smooth
Is cardiac muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Involuntary
This muscle’s characteristics are present, many nuclei; well developed transverse, and a tubule system
Skeletal
What is a tendon?
A band of tough, inelastic fibrous tissue that connects a muscle with it’s bony attachment
What is a ligament?
A sheet or band of tough fibrous connecting bones or cartiliges at a joint or supporting an organ
What is neuromuscular junction?
Connection between a motor neuron and the muscle fiber
What’s a sacromere
The segment of a myofibril that extends from one Z line to the next Z line.
Is actin thick or thin?
Thin
Is myosin thick or thin
Thick
When minimal strength is required to cause a contraction… __________
