Smooth, Cardiac, and Skeletal Muscles
Across
- 5. Sheets of spindle-shaped cells in close contact with one another.
- 7. Muscles that resist a prime mover and cause movement in the opposite direction.
- 10. Wavelike motion that occurs in certain tubular organs, caused by transmission of impulses from cell to cell and rhythmicity.
- 11. A pattern of repeated contractions.
- 14. A.K.A. agonist, the working muscle.
Down
- 1. Crossbands that form elaborate junctions between cell membranes.
- 2. Increases angle.
- 3. Bends or decreases angle.
- 4. Muscles that contract and assist the prime mover.
- 6. Muscle fibers are separate rather than in organized sheets.
- 8. Moveable part of a joint that a skeletal muscle connects to.
- 9. Elongated with tapering ends, similar to skeletal.
- 12. Immovable part of a moveable joint that a skeletal muscle connects to.
- 13. Only found in the heart, branching, striated cells interconnected in 3-D networks.
