joints in which fibrous bands (ligaments) connect two bones

unique joints that occur between the root of a tooth and the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla

bundles of very fine cytoskeletal filaments that extend lengthwise along a skeletal muscle fiber and almost fill the sarcoplasm.

latent period, the contraction phase, and the relaxation phase.

three phases of the twitch contraction

graded strength principle

Skeletal muscles contract with varying degrees of strength at different times

contraction in which the tone or tension within a muscle remains the same as the length of the muscle changes

isometric contraction

contraction in which muscle length remains the same while muscle tension increases
