Across
  1. 2. Combining form meaning muscle.
  2. 3. unit Neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron's axonal terminals.
  3. 4. Largest and most superficial of the three gluteal muscles. It makes up a large portion of the shape and appearance of the hips.
  4. 5. A muscle whose contraction pulls down the part of the body to which it is attached.
  5. 7. The ability of a muscle fiber to respond rapidly to a stimulating agent.
  6. 13. Junction Junction between nerve and muscle
  7. 14. Forearm movement that turns palm to face either posteriorly or downward
  8. 18. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes.
  9. 19. Combining form meaning muscle.
  10. 20. Muscle whose action is normally controlled by an individual's will.
  11. 22. A muscle that contracts without conscious control and found in walls of internal organs such as stomach and intestine and bladder and blood vessels
  12. 25. Chemical messenger, a neurotransmitter, released by nerve cells in many parts of the peripheral nervous system.
  13. 26. Debt extra oxygen that must be used in the oxidative energy processes after a period of strenuous exercise to reconvert lactic acid to glucose and decomposed ATP and creatine phosphate to their original states.
  14. 27. Muscles can be stretched to their normal resting length and beyond to a limited degree.
  15. 29. Motion that pulls a structure or part toward the midline of the body
  16. 32. A straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts
  17. 34. Bending movement that decreases the angle between a segment and its proximal segment.
  18. 36. Tone The internal state of muscle-fiber tension within individual muscles and muscle groups.
  19. 37. Combining form meaning flesh.
Down
  1. 1. Movement Muscle that provides the major force to complete the movement.
  2. 3. Broad, thick, radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis.
  3. 6. maintains constriction of a natural body passage or orifice and which relaxes as required by normal physiological functioning.
  4. 8. The activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers
  5. 9. Cell membrane that encloses each muscle cell.
  6. 10. Fixed attachment, while the insertion moves with contraction.
  7. 11. The ability of a muscle to rebound toward its original length after a contraction.
  8. 12. Pulls the thigh medially.
  9. 15. A sheet of pearly-white fibrous tissue that takes the place of a tendon in sheetlike muscles having a wide area of attachment.
  10. 16. Departures from the standard position of the body, the anatomical position.
  11. 17. Forearm that turns palms to face anteriorly or upward
  12. 21. A muscle whose contraction causes the raising of a part of the body.
  13. 23. Motion that pulls a structure or part away from the midline of the body.
  14. 24. A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.
  15. 28. Attachment site that does move when the muscle contracts.
  16. 30. Fifth tendon and is part of the extensor digitorum longus.
  17. 31. Smallest, between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines, and behind, from the margin of the greater sciatic notch.
  18. 33. Attachment, while the insertion moves with contraction.
  19. 35. Adduct the thigh and it is innervated by the obturator nerve.
