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