Muscular System Terminology
Across
- 5. – Gap between nerve and muscle
- 9. – on the outside of the epimysium.
- 14. - Damage to a ligament.
- 15. - Muscle Type with striations and only found in the heart.
- 16. - Move toward the midline.
- 18. - contractions where myofilaments are able to slide past each other during contractions at the same force production
- 20. - Myosin filaments
- 22. - Around single muscle cell or fiber.
- 26. - Contractions where tension in the muscles increases but no movement occurs
- 27. – muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement.
- 28. - Contraction where the muscle contracts at the same speed through the ROM
- 29. – Muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover
- 30. - Bundles of myofilaments.
- 31. - Contractile unit of a muscle fiber.
- 34. - Decreasing the angle of the joint.
- 35. - Number of muscle types in the human body.
- 36. – Stabilizes the origin of a prime mover.
Down
- 1. - Cone-like movement in space.
- 2. - Muscle type with no striations, single nucleus, and is involuntary.
- 3. - Muscle Type with striations, multi-nucleated, and has both voluntary and involuntary properties.
- 4. - Explosion of electrical activity that is created by a depolarizing current
- 6. – Association site of nerve and muscle
- 7. - Coordination of muscles, bones, and nerves to produce small, exact movements
- 8. – Ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is received
- 10. – Ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
- 11. - To move away from the midline.
- 12. - Damage to a muscle or tendon.
- 13. – covers the entire skeletal muscle.
- 17. - Summing of contractions - One contraction is immediately followed by another
- 19. – Chemical released by nerve upon arrival of nerve impulse
- 21. - Contraction where the muscle contracts but lengthens
- 23. - Actin filaments
- 24. – Muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and helps prevent rotation
- 25. - One neuron and the muscle cells stimulated by that neuron
- 27. - Around a fascicle (bundle) of fibers.
- 32. - Contraction where the muscle contracts and shortens
- 33. - Increasing the angle of the joint
- 35. - Single, brief contraction.
