| The more mobile point of muscle attachment is called the ________________ | Insertion |
| The ____________ nerve sends signals of touch, temperature, and pain sensation from face to the brain | Trigeminal |
| Muscles are important for which of the following? | Generate body heat, movement, resisting gravity |
| The radical nerve, axillary nerve, and musculocutaneous nerve are three important nerves of the _____________________ | Brachial plexus |
