Muscular System
Across
- 1. striated muscles of the heart that contract involuntarily to pump blood throughout the body
- 7. organelle that makes up most of the muscle cells
- 10. where the axon terminals of the major neuron meet the muscle fiber, including the space between them
- 13. what do muscles have to do in order to produce movement
- 15. where the muscle is attached to an immovable bone
- 16. muscle that oppose or do the reverse of a certain movement
- 17. non-striated muscles in the walls of visceral organs that contract involuntarily to propel objects down internal passageways
- 18. surrounds each fascicle(type of connective tissue)
- 19. wraps around the entire outside of the muscle(type of connective tissue)
Down
- 2. where the muscle is attached to a movable bone
- 3. muscle fibers bundle together to form
- 4. thin filaments that run the length of each myofibril
- 5. striated muscles are generally attached to bones that contract voluntarily to produce movement
- 6. surrounds each muscle fiber(type of connective tissue)
- 8. muscles that help the prime mover, such as stabilizing across a joint or adding some "oomph"
- 9. main function of the muscular system
- 11. known as the abdominal muscles
- 12. the contractile unit of the muscle
- 14. muscles are most responsible for producing a certain movement
