| Connective tissue located between adjacent muscles | Fascia |
| Layer of connective tissue that separates a muscle into small bundles called fascicles | Perimysium |
| Cell membrane of a muscle fiber | Sarcolemma |
| Layer of connective tissue that surrounds a skeletal muscle | Epimysium |
| Unit of alternating light and dark striations between Z lines | Sarcomere |
| Layer of connective tissue that surrounds an individual muscle fiber | Endomysium |
| Cellular organelle in muscle fiber corresponding to the endoplasmic reticulum | Sarcoplasmic reticulum |
| Cordlike part that attaches a muscle to a bone | Tendon |
| Protein found within thick filament | Myosin |
| A small bundle of muscle fibers | Fascicle |
| The (BLANK) of a muscle is usually attached to a fixed location. | Origin |

| When the forearm is extended at the elbow joint, the (BLANK)muscles act as the prime mover (agonist). | Triceps Brachii |
| The forearm is flexed at the elbow when the (BLANK) muscle contracts. | Biceps brachii |
| A muscle responsible for most of a movement is called a(n)? | Agonist |
| Assisting muscles are called? | Synergist |
| Antagonists are muscles that resist the actions of (BLANK) and cause movements in the opposite direction. | Agonists |
