Muscular System
Across
- 3. muscle fibres that produce most of its energy aerobically for the prolonged generation of power.
- 5. one of hundreds of thousands of cylindrical subunits that make up a skeletal muscle cell
- 6. striated, voluntary muscle tissue
- 7. a group of several hereditary conditions in which the skeletal muscles degenerate, lose strength and are gradually replaced by fatty and fibrous tissue
- 8. chronic muscular pain and tenderness associated with fatigue, can be caused by infections diseases, trauma or medications
- 10. a high-energy compound that regenerates ATP in muscle cells
- 11. protein that makes up the thick filament in a muscle fibre
- 14. reduction in size, tome, and power of a muscle
- 16. an explanation for muscle contraction based on the movement of actin filaments in relation to myosin filaments
- 17. protein that makes up the thin filament in a muscle fibre
Down
- 1. skeletal muscle cell
- 2. muscle fibres that produces most of its energy anaerobically, for the rapid generation of power. Vulnerable to fatigue.
- 4. one of many microscopic, string-like structures, composed of actin and myosin.
- 9. muscular contraction that lasts a fraction of a second
- 10. striated, involuntary muscle found only in the heart
- 12. ATP
- 13. exercise-induced increase in muscle mass due to increase in size, not number, of muscle fibres
- 15. non-striated, involuntary muscle tissue found in walls of internal organs
