Muscle fibers A muscle fiber is a muscle cell A fascicle consists of many fibers
Aponeurosis Thin flattened sheet of dense irregular tissue
Tendon Cordlike structure of dense regular connective tissue
Vascularized Skeletal has extensive blood vessels
Motor unit A motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it controls
Muscle tone Generated by involuntary nervous stimulation of muscle Resting tension in a muscle
Muscle tone Decreases during sleep
Hypertrophy Muscles increases in size due to increases synthesis of contractile proteins
Hyperplasia Increase in number of fibers
Atrophy Decrease in size due to lack of use
Cardiac muscle fibers Short, branching fibers Striated (contain sarcomeres)
Smooth muscle cells Wide in the middle with tapered ends Smaller than skeletal muscle fibers
Orbicularis oculi Circular muscle fibers surround orbit Closes eye
Orbicularis oris Closes mouth Puckers lip
Chewing Muscles of mastication
Expiration Exhalation Respiratory muscles contract and others relax Decreasing the size of the thoracic amity and forcing air out of lungs
Diaphragm Internally placed dome-shaped muscle that partitions thoracic and abdominal cavities
Most important muscle associated with breathing Diaphragm
External oblique Located superficially fibers directed infermoedially
Internal oblique Located deep to external oblique, fibers project superomedially

Fascia A band of connective tissue that envelops, senates, or binds together muscles or groups of muscles
Smooth muscles Located in the walls of internal organs, such as digestive tract, blood vessels, and ducts leading to glands.
Myocardial muscle Forms muscular walls of the heart
Abduction Movement of a limb away from the midline of the boy
Adduction Movement of a limb toward the midline of the body
Flexion Decreasing the angle between two bones by bending a limb at a joint
Depression Lowering a body part
Elevation Raising or lifting of a body part
Bradykinesia Extreme slowness in movement

Ganglion cyst Harmless fluid filled swelling occurring commonly on the outer surface of. Face
Epicondylitis Inflammation of tissues surrounding the elbow
Heel spur Calcium deposit in plantar fascia near the attachment to calcaneus
Plantar fasciitis Inflammation of plantar fascia on sole of foot
