Question
Answer
The type of muscle that is only found in the heart   Cardiac Muscle  
🗑
this muscle consist of short, branching fibers that fit together in intercalated discs   Cardiac Muscle  
🗑
The type of muscle that is found in the digestive tract, blood vessels, bladder, airways, and uterus   Smooth Muscle  
🗑
The type of muscle that attaches bone and causes movement to the body   Skeletal Muscle  
🗑
A skeletal muscle cell is called a   Muscle Fiber  
🗑
A delicate connective tissue that covers each muscle fiber is called   Endomysium  
🗑
muscle fibers that are grouped in bundles are called   Fascicles  
🗑
A sheath of tougher connective tissue that encases the fascicles is called   Perimysium  
🗑
a layer of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle as a whole and binds all the muscle fibers together is called   Epimysium  
🗑
Connective tissue that surrounds the muscle outside the epimysium is called   Fascia  
🗑
this lies between muscles   Deep Fascia  
🗑
this resides just under the skin   Superficial Fascia  
🗑
Muscle fibers that merge with the periosteum of the bone, forming a strong attachment is called   Direct Attachment  
🗑
when the epimysium extends past the muscle as a tendon . the tendon then merges with the periosteum is called   Indirect Attachment  
🗑
the plasma membrane surrounding each muscle fiber is called a   Sarcolemma  
🗑
the cytoplasm of the a muscle cells is called   Sarcoplasm  
🗑
long protein bundles that fill the Sarcoplasm is called   Myofibrils  
🗑
the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle fiber that surrounds each myofibril is called   Sarcoplasmic Reticulum  
🗑
Myofibrils consists of even finer fibers called   Myofilaments  
🗑
thick myofilaments are made of a protein called   Myosin  
🗑
thin myofilaments consist of protein called   Actin  
🗑
A system of tubules that extend across the sarcoplasm is called   Transverse Tubules  
🗑
A plate or disc that serves as an anchor point for thin myofilaments is called   Z-disc/ Z-line  
🗑
the section between the z-discs is called a   Sarcomere  
🗑
the neuron and all the fibers is stimulates is called a   Motor Unit  
🗑
the minimum voltage needed to cause a muscle fiber to contract is called the   Threshold  
🗑
when a fiber receives a stimulus at or above threshold, it responds after a brief lag by quickly contracting and then relaxing is called   Twitch  
🗑
the phenomenon, in which each successive twitch contracts more forcefully the previous one is called   Treppe  
🗑
the condition of rapid contraction with only partial relaxation is called   incomplete tetanus  
🗑
if the impulses arrive so fast that the muscle cant relax at all between stimuli is called   Complete tetanus  
🗑
this refers to the end of the muscle that attaches to the more stationary bone   Origin  
🗑
the thick mid-section of the muscle is called   the belly  
🗑
the end of a muscle that attaches to the more movable bone is called   Insertion  
🗑
muscles that trigger movement is called   Prime mover  
🗑
muscles that assist in movement are called   Synergists  
🗑
muscles that balance movements are called   Antagonists  
🗑
this muscle raises the eyebrows when glancing upward or showing surprise   Frontalis  
🗑
A sphincter muscle that closes the eye when blinking or squinting   Orbicularis Oculi  
🗑
this muscle draws the mouth upward when laughing   Zygomaticus  
🗑
this muscle closes the mouth and purses the lips, such as when kissing   Orbicularis oris  
🗑
this muscle assists in smiling and blowing   Buccinator  
🗑
this muscle aids in closing the jaw   Temporalis  
🗑
this muscle actually closes the jaw   Masseter  
🗑
this muscle flexes the head   Sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
this muscle extends the head and flexes the head from side to side   Trapezius  
🗑
the muscles that lie superficially between ribs; elevates the ribs during inspiration   External intercostals  
🗑
enlarges the thorax to trigger inspiration   Diaphragm  
🗑
this muscle compresses the abdominal organs with aids in forceful expiration, vomiting, and defecation   External Oblique  
🗑
the aponeuroses of muscles forming the abdominal wall meet in the mid line of the abdomen, where they form a tough band of connective tissue called the   Linea Alba  
🗑
this muscle flexes the lumbar region of the spinal column to cause bending forward of the waist   Rectus abdominis  
🗑
this muscle compresses the contents of the abdomen   Transverse Abdominis  
🗑
this muscle stabilizes the spine and maintains posture, just like the external oblique muscles   Internal Oblique  
🗑
this muscle abducts, flexes, and rotates the arm   Deltoid  
🗑
this muscle flexes and adducts the upper arm, such as when climbing or hugging   Pectoralis Major  
🗑
this muscle drives all forward-reaching and pushing movements   Serratus anterior  
🗑
this muscle raises and lowers the shoulders   Trapezius  
🗑
this muscle adducts the humerus   Latissimus dorsi  
🗑
the four tendons that are connected to the scapula is called   the rotator cuff  
🗑
the muscle that is the prime mover when flexing the forearm is called   Brachialis  
🗑
the muscle that assists the brachialis when flexing the forearm   Biceps Brachii  
🗑
the prime mover when extending the forearm   Triceps Brachii  
🗑
helps the brachialis and the biceps brachii flex the forearm   Brachioradialis  
🗑
this muscle allows the arm to pronate   Pronator muscles  
🗑
this lies deep within the forearm near the elbow   Supinator muscle  
🗑
muscles that flex the wrist is called   Flexors  
🗑
this flexes the thigh and consists of the llicus and psoas major   Lliopsoas  
🗑
the longest muscle in the body is called   the Sartorius  
🗑
these muscles rotate and draw the thigh in toward the body   Adductor muscles  
🗑
the most powerful muscle in the body that is the prim mover for knee extension   Quadriceps Femoris  
🗑
a group of muscles that work to extend the thigh at the hip, flex the knee and rotate the leg is called   Hamstring  
🗑
this muscle abducts and rotates the thigh outward   Gluteus medius  
🗑
the bulkiest muscle in the body. located in the butt   Gluteus Maximus  
🗑
this muscle lies beneath the other two gluteal muscles   Gluteus minimus  
🗑
