Muscular System
Across
- 4. tissue composed of fibers that can contract, causing movement of an organ or part of the body
- 13. Respiration that requires oxygen
- 14. Muscles that work in cooperation with the prime mover to stabilize movement
- 16. muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover
- 17. Connective tissue surrounding a fascicle
- 19. The muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement
- 20. long slender skeletal muscle cells
- 22. Thin filament of protein found in muscles
- 23. Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body
- 24. thicker, middle region of muscle between origin and insertion
- 25. contractile organelles found in the cytoplasm of muscle cells; made of actin & myosin myofilaments
Down
- 1. Connects muscle to bone
- 2. A dark thin protein band to which actin filaments are attached in a striated muscle fiber, marking the boundaries between adjacent sarcomeres.
- 3. The contractile proteins, actin and myosin, of muscle cells
- 5. Contractile unit of muscle
- 6. Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.
- 7. The contractile protein that makes up the thick filaments of muscle fibers
- 8. The attachment of a muscle tendon to a moveable bone or the end opposite the origin
- 9. bundle of muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium
- 10. a sheath of fibrous elastic tissue surrounding an entire muscle.
- 11. attachment of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during muscular contraction
- 12. main energy source that cells use for most of their work
- 15. A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the force that moves the bones.
- 18. middle of sarcomere, where myosin is anchored
- 21. connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers
