        Help!  

Question
Answer
highly cellular, well-vascularized tissues that are responsible for most types of body movement   muscle tissue  
🗑
one of the individual filaments of actin or myosin that make up a myofibril   myofilaments  
🗑
bring about movement or contraction in all cell types   actin or myosin  
🗑
types of muscle tissue are   skeletal, cardiac, and smooth  
🗑
composed of cylindrical multinucleate cells with obvious striations; muscles attached to skeleton; voluntary muscle   skeletal muscles  
🗑
skeletal muscles are also called muscle __   fibers  
🗑
long, cylindrical cells that contained many nuclei w/obvious banding/straited   skeletal muscle cells  
🗑
appearance, of skeletal muscles, reflects __ __ of their myofilaments   precise alignment  
🗑
generally multinucleate & are branching cells that fit together tightly at intercalated discs   cardiac muscle cells  
🗑
specialized connections btwn myocardial cells containing gap junctions & desmosomes   intercalated discs  
🗑
no visible striations; spindle shaped & contain one centrally located nucleus   smooth muscle cells  
🗑
muscles found in walls of hollow organs (other than heart) that act to squeeze substances through organs by alternately contracting & relaxing   smooth  
🗑
muscle whose contractions help propel blood through blood vessels to all parts of body, found only in heart   cardiac  
🗑
muscle packaged by CT sheets into organs, that are attached to bones & skeleton; form fleshy part of body   skeletal  
🗑
muscle under strict nervous control; skeletal muscle   voluntary  
🗑
muscle that cannot ordinarily be controlled voluntarily (e.g., smooth & cardiac muscle)   involuntary  
🗑
located in skeletal muscles attached to bones, or occasionally skin   skeletal muscles  
🗑
located in walls of heart   cardiac muscles  
🗑
located mostly in walls of hollow organs   smooth muscles  
🗑


   

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.
