Muscular System
Across
- 3. This movement is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
- 4. A filamentous network of proteins that form a structure for the attachment of myosin filaments.
- 7. This movement is to bend.
- 11. This type of myofilament is thick and is arranged in an overlapping pattern that produces striations.
- 12. This cellular organelle is found in muscle fibers.
- 14. This type of rotation is away from the midline of the body.
- 15. This type of rotation is towards the midline of the body.
- 17. This is part D on the diagram.
- 19. Skeletal muscles are connected to bones by this tough connective tissue.
- 20. This is part A on the diagram.
Down
- 1. This is part B on the diagram.
- 2. This is part C on the diagram.
- 5. This type of myofilament is thin and is arranged in an overlapping pattern that produces striations.
- 6. Skeletal muscle cells are filled with these tightly packed filament bundles.
- 8. As part of the myosin heads, they can bind to active sites on the actin molecules to form this.
- 9. This movement is to stretch out.
- 10. This movement is toward the midline of the body.
- 13. When a neuron is stimulated, this neurotransmitter is released that results in an impulse (action potential) in the cell membrane of the muscle fiber.
- 16. This movement is away from the midline of the body.
- 18. In muscle fibers, two Z lines and myofilaments between them make up this unit.
