Across
  1. 7. has the slowest contraction speed of the three muscle types
  2. 8. protein chains responsible for muscle contraction
  3. 9. shape of cardiac muscle fibers
  4. 11. characteristic of skeletal muscle only, meaning it beats at a set pace
  5. 12. a muscle cell
  6. 14. characteristic of skeletal muscle meaning there is more than one nucleus per cell
  7. 16. where you find smooth muscle
  8. 17. the only place where you find cardiac muscle
Down
  1. 1. a structure seen only in cardiac muscle where two fibers join together
  2. 2. shorten
  3. 3. describes the contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle, meaning they contract not under conscious control
  4. 4. attach skeletal muscle to the skeleton
  5. 5. describes the contraction of skeletal muscle meaning you consciously decide to contract them
  6. 6. visible banding on muscle fibers
  7. 10. shape of skeletal muscle fibers
  8. 13. shape of smooth muscle fibers
  9. 15. where skeletal muscle attaches
