Across
- 1. elevates and pulls mandible anteriorly
- 3. consists of a single motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls
- 5. type of skeletal muscle fiber, Type I, slow oxidative, abundant in postural muscles
- 8. muscles that extend the head and/or neck
- 11. type of muscle that has both their origins and insertions on parts of the axial skeleton or skin
- 12. muscles of the vertebral column, minor deep back muscles connect and stabilize the vertebrae
- 14. type of contraction where muscle tension equals or is greater than the resistance
- 17. type of skeletal muscle fiber, Type IIa, fast aerobic, abundant in lower limbs
- 18. prime mover, produces a specific movement when it contracts
- 21. commonly known as the throat, funnel-shaped tubed that lies posterior to and extends inferiorly from the oral and nasal cavities
- 22. compresses cheek against teeth when eating, used to compress air in the oral cavity to play wind instruments
- 23. muscles that flex the head and/pr neck
- 26. organization of muscle fibers within a muscle
- 27. muscle that assists agonist or prime over
- 28. muscles that elevate the hyoid during swallowing
Down
- 2. muscle whose action opposed that of the agonist
- 4. region where the motor neuron comes into close proximity to the muscle fiber
- 5. elevates and retracts tongue
- 6. muscles of the vertebral column that maintain posture, help to stand erect
- 7. muscles that depress the hyoid during swallowing
- 9. elevates posterior part of tongue
- 10. protracts and moves the mandible from side to side while chewing
- 13. point of attachment to the bone that DOES move
- 15. elevates and pulls mandible posteriorly
- 16. protracts tongue
- 19. type of contraction where muscle tension is less than the resistance
- 20. depresses and retracts tongue
- 24. type of skeletal muscle fiber, Type IIa, fast anaerobic, abundant in upper limbs
- 25. number of extrinsic eye muscles
