Across
  1. 3. the muscle on the back of the upper arm
  2. 11. a protein that converts chemical energy in the form of ATP to mechanical energy
  3. 12. a system of membrane-bound tubules that surrounds muscle fibrils
  4. 14. A dark thin protein band to which actin filaments are attached in a striated muscle fiber
  5. 17. plays an important role in signal transduction pathways,where they act as a second messenger, in neurotransmitter release from neurons, contraction of all muscle cell types
  6. 18. the tough tissue that cushions bones at their joints
  7. 20. the tissue that joins bones together at joints
  8. 22. a complex of three regulatory proteins that is integral to muscle contraction in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle
Down
  1. 1. the large muscle in the upper arm that flexes the forearm
  2. 2. it is composed of thin filaments of actin and thick filaments of myosin
  3. 3. a two-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil protein found in cell cytoskeletons
  4. 4. the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell
  5. 5. the contractile unit of a myofibril
  6. 6. a closed cavity containing synovial fluid
  7. 7. a globulin that is present in muscle plasma and that in connection with myosin plays an important role in muscle contraction
  8. 8. the bone in the forearm that's on the outside when you flex
  9. 9. the joint that allows bones to move on many planes
  10. 10. the joint where the bones can only move along one axis
  11. 13. A region of myosin molecules that extend from the surface of the thick filaments toward the thin filaments in a skeletal muscle
  12. 15. the bone in the forearm that's on the inside when you flex
  13. 16. the bone in the upper arm that goes from the shoulder to the elbow
  14. 19. the tissue that attaches muscle to bone
  15. 21. fiber the type of cell found in muscle tissue
