Isometric contraction   Equal distance  
🗑
Isotonic   Equal tension  
🗑
What is muscle tone   Refers to constant tension produced by muscle of the body for long periods of time. keeps head up and back straight.  
🗑
Origin   Attachments of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during muscular contraction  
🗑
Insertion   The movable attachment of a muscle as opposed to its origin  
🗑
Syngerist   Muscles that work together  
🗑
Fascia   Connective tissue located outside the epimysium  
🗑

🗑
What is mastication   "chewing" the process by which food is ground by teeth.  
🗑
Muscles involved in mastication   Masseter, and temporalis  
🗑
Intrinsic tongue muscles   Superior longitudinal muscle, inferior longitudinal muscle, verticalis muscle, transversus muscle  
🗑
Extrinsic tongue muscles   Genioglossus muscle, hyoglossus muscle, stylogossus muscle, palatoglossus muscle  
🗑

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
