Muscles and Muscle tissue
Across
- 2. place or point where muscle begins
- 4. a sheath of fibrous elastic tissue surrounding a muscle
- 8. a bundle of structures conducting vessels
- 10. the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by the axon
- 11. transparent tubular sheath that envelops the fibers of skeletal muscles
- 13. tension remains unchanged and the muscle length changes
- 15. an elongated contractile cell that forms the muscles of the body
- 16. a layer of areolar connective tissue that protects each muscle fiber
- 17. a thing that is inserted
- 18. a muscle whose contraction moves apart of the body directly
- 19. a substance that acts and blocks an action
- 20. found in the sarcomere, named for it's shape
- 22. the continuous and passive partial contractions of the muscle
- 28. the process of becoming smaller
- 29. something resting on a pivot point
Down
- 1. a red protein that carries and stores oxygen in muscle cells
- 3. unconscious low level contraction of the muscle
- 5. protein involved in muscle contraction
- 6. small involuntary contraction
- 7. dark band with thick filaments
- 9. muscle that is under the conscious control
- 10. the decline in ability of a muscle to generate force
- 12. filaments of myofibrils contructed from proteins
- 13. type of training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction
- 14. a globular protein used in the muscle contraction
- 19. a protein that forms the filaments of muscle cells
- 21. where there is no actin in the sarcomere
- 22. found in sarcomere
- 23. myofibril in striated muscle
- 24. weight or source of pressure
- 25. light band with thin filaments
- 26. the cytoplasm found in the sarcolemma
- 27. the sheath of connective tissue surrounding a bundle of muscle fibers
