Muscular System
Across
- 4. muscle attachment site that doesn’t move in contraction
- 6. light bands made up on actin filaments, which r anchored to z lines
- 7. a highly organized tissue composed of bundles of muscle fibers called myofibers which contain several myofibrils
- 13. broad sheets of connective tissue that connect muscles to each other
- 14. dark bands made up of overlapping thick and thin filaments
- 15. involuntary non-striated (lined) muscle
- 21. bands produced by organization of thick and thin filaments
- 23. cell membrane of a muscle fiber
- 25. muscle that opposes the action of another muscle
- 26. mainly composed of actin in myofibrils, but also troponin and tropomyosin
- 27. line in the center of the H zone that has the proteins that hold myosin filaments in place
- 28. muscle that assist the prime mover (agonistic muscle) in its role
- 29. boundary of the sarcomere in striated muscle
- 30. cytoplasm of muscle cell that contains many mitochondria and nuclei
Down
- 1. organelle of a muscle fiber which are active in muscle contraction
- 2. consist of protein myosin in myofibrils
- 3. muscle group that provides the main pull to create movement
- 5. the endoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell, a network of membranous channels that lies beneath the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber
- 8. main contractile unit of muscle fiber in skeletal muscle
- 9. Cardiac muscle is an involuntary striated muscle tissue found only in the heart and is responsible for the ability of the heart to pump blood.
- 10. layer of connective tissue around each skeletal muscle
- 11. a zone in the middle of the A band that only has myosin filaments
- 12. layer of connective tissue that covers each muscle cell (fiber)
- 16. layer of connective tissue that extends inward from the epimysium, surrounds bundles of skeletal muscle fibers (called fascicles) within each muscle
- 17. muscles that keep bones immobile when needed.
- 18. layers of dense connective tissue that surround and separate each muscle
- 19. a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
- 20. muscle attachment site that moves in contraction
- 22. cylindrical muscle cells
- 24. organs that use chemical energy from nutrients to contract and move attached structures
