Muscle Physfolio
Across
- 2. Point where it’s attached to the immovable or less moveable bone
- 4. The gap between muscle cells’ membranes
- 6. Muscle around the eye
- 9. Moving a limb away from the body’s midline
- 10. Muscles that oppose of reverse a movement
- 12. Decreases the angle of the joint and brings bones towards each other
- 13. Threadlike protein that has 2 different types
- 14. Myosin heads or projections
- 17. Single, brief, jerky muscle contractions
- 18. The muscle only found in the heart
- 19. Increases the angle of the joint and move the bones away from each other
- 20. The neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle cells
- 21. One neuron and all the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates
- 23. Attach muscles indirectly to bones or cartilages
- 25. Point where it’s attached to the movable bone
- 27. It is made when pyruvic acid is generated during glycolysis
- 28. Type of muscle with no striations and is involuntary
Down
- 1. Long ribbonlike organelles
- 3. An even tougher “overcoat” of connective tissue that bundles fascicles together
- 4. A specialized smooth endomplasmic reticulum
- 5. “feather like” Pattern, short fascicles attach obliquely to a central tendon
- 7. Chains of tiny contractile units made of myofibrils
- 8. Delicate connective tissue sheath
- 11. A bundle of muscle fibers
- 15. Plasma membrane where many oval nuclei can be seen beneath
- 16. The movement of a limb toward the body’s midline
- 20. When a muscle is no longer stimulated and loses tone and becomes paralyzed
- 22. Thread-like extension of a neuron, called the nerve fiber
- 24. Help prime movers by producing the same movement
- 26. A coarser fibrous membrane that wraps around several sheathed muscle fibers
