Across
- 1. the protein contained in red blood cells that is responsible for delivery of oxygen to the unit: a single motoneuron and the many muscle fibers to which its axon runs.
- 7. the contracting tension in the muscle remains constant in a steady state.
- 9. a muscle whose contraction bends a limb or other part of the body
- 12. occurs when one muscle fiber contracts in response to a command by the nervous system.
- 13. the delay between the receipt of a stimulus by a sensory nerve and the response to it.
- 15. the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal,intercalated discs
- 17. any of the muscles that increase the angle between members of a limb
- 18. a superficial extensor muscle located in the posterior compartment of the brachii: a large, thick muscle on the ventral portion of the upper arm.
- 19. the amount of tension (or resistance to movement) in muscles.
Down
- 2. a protein located primarily in the striated muscles of vertebrates
- 3. a temporary oxygen shortage in the body tissues arising from exercise
- 4. any of the muscles that cause movement of a limb away from the midplane of the body or away from a neighbouring part or limb
- 5. mainly produced in muscle cells and red blood cells
- 6. attached at the front, side, and rear of the shoulder
- 8. major: the superior most and largest muscle of the anterior chest wall
- 10. the additive effect of several electrical impulses on a neuromuscular junction
- 11. a muscle whose contraction causes or assists in the rotation of a part of the body.
- 14. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level
- 16. each of a pair of long muscles that connect the sternum, clavicle, and mastoid process of the temporal bone and serve to turn and nod the l oblique: located on the outer surface of the sides of the abdomen, on each side of the rectus abdominis.
