Across
- 1. Connective tissue that surrounds and separates muscles.
- 3. Fibrous band of tissue that connects muscle to bone.
- 5. Muscle that opposes the action of an agonist.
- 6. Ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions over time.
- 8. Increase in muscle size due to growth of individual muscle fibers.
- 10. State of muscle when it is not contracting.
- 12. Muscle found only in the heart; involuntary and striated.
- 13. Movement that increases the angle between two body parts.
- 15. Tissue composed of fibers that contract to produce movement.
- 17. Protein filaments within muscle fibers that interact with actin during contraction.
Down
- 1. Movement that decreases the angle between two body parts.
- 2. Decrease in muscle size due to lack of use or injury.
- 4. Protein filaments within muscle fibers that slide past myosin during contraction.
- 7. Shortening of muscle fibers to produce movement.
- 9. Type of muscle attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement.
- 11. Muscle responsible for producing a specific movement.
- 14. unction where a motor neuron meets a muscle fiber, allowing for muscle contraction.
- 16. Type of muscle found in internal organs and blood vessels; involuntary.
- 18. Type of muscle contraction where muscle length changes.
